As anyone would guess, every atom has mass, an important physical property, even Polonium. But how do we know how much does a Po atom weight?
First of all, if we know the atom symbol, let's say Po, we can open any periodic table and search for Polonium.
In the case of Polonium the answer is 208,9824. However there is a lot of funny facts about Polonium that most people don't know. Shall we have a look?
