Atomic Mass Nd (& Secrets: Uses, Sources and more...) 2022

As anyone would guess, every atom has mass, an important physical property, even Neodymium. But how do we know how much does a Nd atom weight?

First of all, if we know the atom symbol, let's say Nd, we can open any periodic table and search for Neodymium.

In the case of Neodymium the answer is 144,24. However there is a lot of funny facts about Neodymium that most people don't know. Shall we have a look?
