lutetium

Because of the rarity and high price, lutetium has very few commercial uses.

Lutetium is rare and expensive; consequently, it has few specific uses.

However, none of these chemists actually dealt with pure lutetium.

He discovered the element Lutetium (number 71) in 1907.

For example, lutetium was named in reference to Paris, France.

The abundance of lutetium in the Earth crust is only about 0.5 mg/kg.

In other tables, lutetium and lawrencium are classified as the remaining members of group 3.

Lutetium is a chemical element with the symbol Lu and atomic number 71.

Aside from stable lutetium, its radioactive isotopes have several specific uses.

Pure lutetium metal was first produced in 1953.

Pure lutetium metal is very difficult to prepare.

Lutetium occurs on the Earth in form of two isotopes: lutetium-175 and lutetium-176.

Lutetium oxide powder is toxic as well if inhaled or ingested.

The two least abundant rare earth elements (thulium and lutetium) are nearly 200 times more common than gold.

Lutetium is not a particularly abundant element, though significantly more common than silver in the earth's crust; it has few specific uses.

The world production of lutetium (in the form of oxide) is about 10 tonnes per year.

Lutetium is used as a phosphor in LED light bulbs.

Found with almost all other rare-earth metals but never by itself, lutetium is very difficult to separate from other elements.

He isolated element 71, later named Lutetium.

Lutetium nitrate may be dangerous as it may explode and burn once heated.

With the exception of lutetium, all lanthanides belong to the f block.

Lutetium is one of the rarest and is the most expensive rare-earth element.

In the high-temperature part, the two lutetium phosphate samples are single crystals rather than powders.

Lutetium salts are then selectively washed out by suitable complexing agent.

Lutetium is the hardest and densest lanthanide and has the highest melting point.
