But what do you do when you only know its atomic number? Like... what is the atom symbol whose atomic number is 59?
The answer is Praseodymium (Pr). However there are a lot of interesting facts about Praseodymium that people don't know. Let me show you:
Praseodymium Overview
Atomic Symbol
Pr (Praseodymium)
Description
Silvery white, moderately soft, malleable, ductile metal.
Sources
Used with neodymium to make lenses for glass maker's goggles since it filters out the yellow light present in glass blowing. Alloyed with magnesium creates a high-strength metal used in aircraft engines. Makes up 5% of Mich metal.
