What are element 58-71 called?
They are called Lanthanoids or the Lanthanide Series.
What is the only synthetic element in the lanthanide series?
Promethium, Pm, atomic number 61
What is atomic number 58 called?
The element is Cerium. It is in Lanthanide series. Mass number is 140.12
What is the heaviest lanthanide?
The smallest atomic number and atomic weight for a lanthanide is lanthanum itself, element 57. The smallest atomic size is lutecium element 71; the lanthanides steadily decrease in atomic radius through the series, and the smallest is the last of them.
What is a lanthanide element?
Lanthanides are any of the series of 15 consecutive chemical elements in the periodic table from lanthanum to lutetium (atomic numbers 57 - 71). With scandium and yttrium, they make up the rare earth metals. Their atoms have similar configurations and similar physical and chemical behaviour; the most common valences are 3 and 4.
Is uranium in the lanthanide family?
cerium is atomic number 58 element and is in lanthanoide family and is a transition metal
What family is europium in?
The chemical element of Europium is part of the lanthanide series. The lanthanide series is comprised of metallic elements, these can be referred to as rare earth elements.
What group is erbium in?
its in the Lanthanide series
