Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of Praseodymium (Pr) & Facts, Color, Uses ... 2022

Size of things changes depending on the coefficient of thermal expansion. It's even the case for Praseodymium. Ok, so what is the coefficient of thermal expansion for an atom of Pr?

Note: Learn more about the coefficient of thermal expansion here.

In the case of Praseodymium this thermal coefficient is 5.4 10^-6 K^-1. By the way, did you know there are cool facts about Praseodymium that most don't know? Check this...

Praseodymium Data

Praseodymium Coefficient of Thermal Expansion

5.4 10^-6 K^-1

Atomic Number
