Paul-Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran discovered this element in 1879 in Paris when he isolated samarium. Samarium is silvery-white in appearance and is found mainly in ores or minerals.
Samarium can be found in minerals such as monazite and bastnasite. It is primarily mined in countries like China, Russia, Australia, and the United States. Additionally, samarium is found in some uranium ores.
Samarium was named after it's ore, samarskite by Paul Émile Lecoq de Boisbaudran. Which in turn was named after Vasili Evgrafovich Samarsky–Bykhovets who was a Russian mining engineer.
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.
Samarium is named after the mineral samarskite, where it was first discovered. The mineral was named in honor of a Russian mine official named Vassili Samarsky-Bykhovets, who was supportive of mineralogical studies in Russia.
The noble gas notation for samarium is [Xe] 6s2 4f6.
It is also called Samarium in Latin, hoped this helped!

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).
