Rhenium has one stable isotope, rhenium-185, which nevertheless occurs in minority abundance, a situation found only in two other elements (indium and tellurium). Naturally occurring rhenium is only 37.4% 185 Re, and 62.6% 187 Re, which is unstable but has a very long half-life (~10 10 years).
They also found rhenium in gadolinite and molybdenite. [5] In 1928 they were able to extract 1 gram of the element by processing 660 kg of molybdenite. In 2020 a memorial medal of the discovery was issued by ISTR (art-designer: Igor Petrov).
Rhenium resembles manganese chemically and is obtained as a by-product of molybdenum and copper ore's extraction and refinement. Rhenium shows in its compounds a wide variety of oxidation states ranging from −1 to +7. Discovered in 1925, rhenium was the last stable element to be discovered. It was named after the river Rhine in Europe.
An ornithomimid.. In August 1972, J. B. Friday discovered dinosaur bones in a Sevier County gravel pit near Lockesburg. [8] In 1973 the fossils Friday discovered were being cleaned and compared to related by dinosaurs by University of Arkansas professor James Harrison Quinn.
Naturally occurring rhenium (75 Re) is 37.4% 185 Re, which is stable (although it is predicted to decay), and 62.6% 187 Re, which is unstable but has a very long half-life (4.12×10 10 years). [4] Among elements with a known stable isotope, only indium and tellurium similarly occur with a stable isotope in lower abundance than the long-lived ...
An Arkansas man who picked up what he thought was a piece of glass at a state park says he later learned his jelly bean-sized find was something much more valuable: It was a 4.87-carat diamond.
Rhenium was the last element to be discovered having a stable isotope. The existence of a yet undiscovered element at this position in the periodic table had been predicted by Henry Moseley in 1914. In 1925 they reported that they detected the element in platinum ore and in the mineral columbite. They also found rhenium in gadolinite and ...
