Is europium radioactive?
Europium is radioactive, though for most practical purposes it can be treated as stable. 52.2% of europium is stable. 47.8%, is radioactive 151Eu, but the half life of this is long, at 5,000,000,000,000,000,000 years. Like all other elements, europium has radioactive synthetic isotopes.
What is the atomic number of europium?
Europium, with the chemical symbol Eu, is the chemical element with the atomic number 63.
What is the state of matter of europium?
Europium is solid at room temperature, as are all metals with the exception of mercury.
What is europium used for?
Because Europium is fairly difficult to obtain it has few practical uses. Europium is unique in the fact that it can absorb more neutrons per atom then any other element. Thus making Europium and its isotopes very valuable in control rods of nuclear reactors. Like many other transition metals Europium is used in producing certain alloys, including striker and lighter flints. It's also been used in the creation of infrared absorbing automotive glass. Europium's compound, Europium Oxide, is often used as a phosphor activator. Europium's other two roles are also involved with phosphors. Europium is used in the production of phosphors for the creation of small lasers. But perhaps what Europium is known best for is the production of the red phosphors that are found in all color television screens.
Is europium harmful?
yes
Where is europium in the periodic table?
Europium, number 63
Is europium a rare earth elements?
Europium and his compounds has a low toxicity.
What is the mass number of europium?
Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. And we might consider that the mass number of europium is 153 and call it good. Europium has an atomic number of 63, and there is only one stable isotope of it - europium-153. This isotope has the 63 protons and 90 neutrons. But there are other isotopes of europium, and their mass numbers range from 130 through 167 because europium has isotopes with neutron counts from 47 through 104.
