Cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb) and lutetium (Lu) are called lanthanoid series. Lanthanum (La) which is a /-block element is also considered to be a lanthanoid. Therefore, the lanthanoid series comprises the fifteen elements with atomic numbers 57 (La) through 71 (Lu). Lanthanoids are grouped because of their chemical similarities and their properties only differ slightly with atomic number. All lanthanoids are relatively soft and reactive metals. Rare earth metals are a collection of seventeen chemical elements in the periodic table, namely. Sc, Y and the fifteen lanthanoids. Sc and Y are considered to be rare earths since they tend to occur in the same ore deposits as the lanthanoids and exhibit similar chemical properties. Table 2.86 summarizes some physical properties of a number of lanthanoids. [Pg.388]
