Polonium is extremely rare and costs $3,200 per microcurie. It is found in uranium ores.
Reaction of polonium with Air (Oxygen):
When Polonium is at room temperature with oxygen it is in solid form as Polonium Oxide.
Po + O → PO
Reaction of polonium with the Halogens:
Polonium has a clam reaction with the halogens chlorine, Cl2, bromine, Br2, and iodine, I2, together they can create polonium chlrode, polonium bromide, and polonium iodide.
Po + 2Cl2 → PoCl4
Po + 2Br2 → PoBr4
Po + 2I2 → PoI4
Reaction with Acids:
Polonium dissolves in concentrated hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid and nitric acid. The result is just a solution that contains Polonium.
Reaction with Water (H2O):
Polonium does not react in water.
