    Actinium (with the suffix –ide)
    Elements in Actinides
    Actinium (atomic number 89) curium (atomic number 96)
    Thorium (atomic number 90) berkelium (atomic number 97)
    Protactinium (atomic number 91) californium (atomic number 98)
    Uranium (atomic number 92) einsteinium (atomic number 99)

    Properties in Common

    Highly Radioactive (emitting or relating to the emission of ionizing radiation or particles)


    Very malleable and ductile
    Electropositive (they give up their electrons easily to form positive ions when reacting)
    Paramagnetic (not inherently magnetic and don’t retain any magnetism once you remove the magnetic field)`
    Use in Real Life
    Making nuclear weapons
    Energy sources for medicine (Curium)
    Making Smoke Detectors (Americium)
