  2. Abundance of elements in Earth's crust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abundance_of_elements_in...

    The composition of the Earth changed after its formation due to loss of volatile compounds, melting and recrystalization, selective loss of some elements to the deep interior, and erosion by water. [ 3 ] : 55 The lanthanides are especially difficult to measure accurately.

  3. Terraria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraria

    Terraria (/ t ə ˈ r ɛər i ə / ⓘ tə-RAIR-ee-ə [1]) is a 2011 action-adventure sandbox game developed by Re-Logic. The game was first released for Windows and has since been ported to other PC and console platforms.

  4. Ytterbium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ytterbium

    Like the other lanthanides, its most common oxidation state is +3, as in its oxide, halides, and other compounds. In aqueous solution, like compounds of other late lanthanides, soluble ytterbium compounds form complexes with nine water molecules. Because of its closed-shell electron configuration, its density, melting point and boiling point ...

  5. Lutetium compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutetium_compounds

    Lutetium compounds are compounds formed by the lanthanide metal lutetium (Lu). In these compounds, lutetium generally exhibits the +3 oxidation state, such as LuCl 3, Lu 2 O 3 and Lu 2 (SO 4) 3. [1] Aqueous solutions of most lutetium salts are colorless and form white crystalline solids upon drying, with the common exception of the iodide.

  6. Terbium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terbium

    The ninth member of the lanthanide series, terbium is a fairly electropositive metal that reacts with water, evolving hydrogen gas. Terbium is never found in nature as a free element, but it is contained in many minerals, including cerite, gadolinite, monazite, xenotime and euxenite.

  7. Actinide chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinide_chemistry

    Plutonium is a transuranic radioactive chemical element, an actinide metal.. Actinide chemistry (or actinoid chemistry) is one of the main branches of nuclear chemistry that investigates the processes and molecular systems of the actinides.

  8. Cerium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerium

    Cerium is the second element in the lanthanide series, and while it often shows the oxidation state of +3 characteristic of the series, it also has a stable +4 state that does not oxidize water. It is considered one of the rare-earth elements. Cerium has no known biological role in humans but is not particularly toxic, except with intense or ...

  9. Actinide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinide

    For all actinides, oxides AnO 3 are amphoteric and An 2 O 3, AnO 2 and An 2 O 5 are basic, they easily react with water, forming bases: [93] An 2 O 3 + 3 H 2 O → 2 An(OH) 3. These bases are poorly soluble in water and by their activity are close to the hydroxides of rare-earth metals. [93]
