| Name origin: | Named for Thor, Norse god of thunder. |
| Description: | Heavy, gray, soft, malleable, ductile, radioactive metal. |
| Discovered by: | Jöns Berzelius |
| Year: | 1828 |
| Place: | Sweden |
| Sources: | Found in various minerals like monazite and thorite. |
| Use(s): | Used in making strong alloys. Also in ultraviolet photoelectric cells. It is a common ingredient in high-quality lenses. Bombarded with neutrons make uranium-233, a nuclear fuel. |
