In 1787, Carl Axel Arrhenius found a new mineral near Ytterby in Sweden and named it ytterbite, after the village. Johan Gadolin discovered yttrium's oxide in Arrhenius' sample in 1789, and Anders Gustaf Ekeberg named the new oxide yttria.
It is yttrium III oxide.
Yes, yttrium can combine with other elements to form compounds. Yttrium is a transition metal in the periodic table and has a valence electron configuration that allows it to form chemical bonds with other elements. It can form various compounds, such as yttrium oxide (Y2O3) and yttrium chloride (YCl3).
Today it is mined as Monazite, in Brazil , China, California.
Gadolin (1760-1852) did not discover gadolinium, the element named for him. He was the first to isolate the rare earth element yttrium (actually its oxide) in 1792.The element is named for the town of Ytterby near Stockholm. Gadolin received a heavy block of mineral from a quarry there and extracted the yttrium oxide from it. The oxide is also called gadolinite in his honor.In 1878, Jean de Marignac isolated ytterbium and in 1880 he discovered gadolinium (isolated in 1886 by Paul de Boisbaudran), which he named for Gadolin.

yttrium was discovered in the year 1794.
Yttrium was discovered in P.P. island, by Charles Burnsrash- in 1666
It is yttrium III oxide.
Yttrium got its name from a town in Sweden named Ytterby. The element was discovered close to that town, and Yttrium was named after it.
Yttrium barium copper oxide (a ceramic)
Yes, yttrium can combine with other elements to form compounds. Yttrium is a transition metal in the periodic table and has a valence electron configuration that allows it to form chemical bonds with other elements. It can form various compounds, such as yttrium oxide (Y2O3) and yttrium chloride (YCl3).
Terbium was discovered in 1843 by Swedish chemist Carl Gustaf Mosander, who detected it as an impurity in Yttrium oxide, Y2O3, and named after the village Ytterby in Sweden. It was not isolated in pure form until the recent advent of ion exchange techniques.[11]
Today it is mined as Monazite, in Brazil , China, California.

The ionic compound formed by reaction of the elements with atomic symbols K and O is named potassium oxide and has the formula unit K2O. (The lower case letters k and o are never proper atomic symbols!)
Applications of yttrium and yttrium compounds: synthetic aluminium-yttrium and other garnets, minor alloying element for other metals, additive to stabilize zirconium oxide, special glasses or ceramics, component of superconductors, the isotope Y-90 is used in radiotherapy of cancers, phosphors for TV screens etc.
