Well...you can /isolate/ it?
Samarium doesn't kill cancer cells. A radioactive isotope of samarium (samarium-153) is used in a chemotherapy agent, but it's the radiation, not the samarium, that kills the cancer cells.
The noble gas notation for samarium is [Xe] 6s2 4f6.
Samarium has six electron shells.
It is also called Samarium in Latin, hoped this helped!
Samarium 99 % cost is 0,025 $/g; see the link:http://www.metal-pages.com/metalprices/samarium/.
Samarium typically forms compounds by bonding with elements like oxygen, sulfur, fluorine, and nitrogen. Some common examples include samarium oxide (Sm2O3), samarium sulfide (Sm2S3), samarium fluoride (SmF3), and samarium nitrate (Sm(NO3)3).
a neutral atom, has 62
Samarium is never found free in nature, but, like other rare earth elements, is contained in many minerals, including monazite, bastnasite and samarskite: monazite (in which it occurs up to an extent of 2.8%) and bastnasite are also used as commercial sources. Misch metal containing about 1% of samarium has long been used, but it was not until recent years that relatively pure samarium has been isolated through ion exchange processes, solvent extraction techniques, and electrochemical deposition. The metal is often prepared by electrolysis of a molten mixture of samarium chloride with sodium chloride or calcium chloride. Samarium can also be obtained by reducing its oxide with lanthanum. wikepediahttp://www.answers.com/topic/samarium-iii-chloride
Samarium is a good conductor for heat and electricity.
Samarium is a metal. It is a rare earth element with properties characteristic of metals, such as being shiny, malleable, and having good electrical conductivity.
Samarium, with the chemical symbol Sm, is the chemical element with the atomic number 62.
Jean Charles Galissard de Marignac, a Swiss chemist, named samarium in 1853.
