Ytterbium was discovered in 1878 by J.C.G. de Marignac in Geneva, Switzerland.
Ytterbium is a soft, silvery-white metal of the lanthanide group. It has an abundance of 3.3 ppm in the earth's crust and is always found in combination with other lanthanides. The metal is soft and malleable, oxidises slowly in air and reacts with water. Applications of the metal are limited, research being the principal area of its use. | |

Trouble with displaying the page ?Lanthanons ... These elements perplex us in our researches, baffle us in our speculations,
and haunt us in our very dreams. They stretch like an unknown sea before us - mocking,
mystifying and murmuring strange relevations and possibilities.
Sir William Crookes (February 16, 1887)
