What are the Elements of colder elements?

Colder elements typically refer to substances that exhibit lower temperatures or are associated with cold conditions. In a scientific context, this could include elements like helium, nitrogen, and argon, which remain gases at low temperatures. Additionally, in a broader sense, colder elements may refer to the physical states of matter, such as solids and liquids, that can exist at lower temperatures, as well as their thermal properties and behaviors in cold environments.

What elements are sometimes called rare earths?

Rare earths refer to a group of 17 elements in the periodic table, specifically the 15 lanthanides (from lanthanum to lutetium) along with scandium and yttrium. These elements are known for their similar properties and are often found together in nature. Despite their name, rare earth elements are relatively abundant in the Earth's crust but are seldom found in economically viable concentrations. They are crucial in various high-tech applications, including electronics, renewable energy technologies, and advanced materials.
