Neodymium
Lloyd Martinez | Chemistry |
During the last years of the nineteenth century, Neodymium was discovered. It is moderately toxic and many people don’t know that they are touching and seeing it every day. Neodymium is very important because it allowed people to start and change the world with better technology. It is not found alone or unmixed with other substances but with significant quantities in ore minerals such as monazite and bastnasite. Neodymium is located in the sixth period and is a part of the Lanthanide family.
Neodymium is a chemical element with the symbol Nd, the atomic number 60, and a soft, bright, silvery white metal. It was first identified in 1885, in Vienna, by Austrian scientist Carl Auer von Welsbach. Neodymium was discovered in ‘didymium’ a substance incorrectly identified by Carl Mosander in 1841. In 1869, ‘didymium’ had the symbol Di in Mendeleev’s first periodic table in 1869. Many people, such as Bohuslav Brauner, tried to identify the element …show more content…
