Ytterbium is a soft, malleable, malleable, silvery element that also belongs to the lanthanide series.

It reacts slowly in air or water but dissolves rapidly in mineral acids.

Symbol: Yb

Atomic number: 70

Atomic weight: 173.045

Element category: Lanthanides

Ytterbium Applications

Infrared lasers, chemical reducing agents, decoy bombs, stainless steel, pressure gauges, nuclear medicine, monitoring earthquakes. Ytterbium isotopes are used as radiation sources in portable X-ray machines. Ytterbium compounds are also used as catalysts in the chemical industry.
