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

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

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

In the case of Praseodymium the answer is 140,90765. However there is a lot of funny facts about Praseodymium that most people don't know. Shall we have a look?
