Cerium

Answer 1

A soft, ductile, and silvery-white metal that tarnishes when exposed to air. It is the second element in the lanthanide series, and while it often shows the oxidation state of +3 characteristic of the series, it also has a stable +4 state that does not oxidize water. Cerium dioxide is employed in the optics industry for the fine polishing of glass.

Answer 2

Cerium is a chemical element with the symbol Ce and atomic number 58. It is a soft, silvery metal that is used in a variety of industrial applications, such as in catalytic converters, glass polishing, and in the production of certain types of alloys. Cerium is also used in the production of specialty glasses and as a catalyst in organic reactions.

Answer 3

Cerium has many different uses, many most likely in your own home. Cerium oxide is used to color glass for lamps and stained glass, and is also used in lighters to start the fire. It is used in porcelain and glass cleaning powders, so Windex probably contains some cerium. Any porcelain knick knacks you have may contain cerium, too. So you see, cerium has many different uses.

It is more commonly used in house hold cleaning agents such as Windex. Cerium has to be artificiallythat is not commonly found in nature.

Answer 4

- Cerium is is used in mixtures for gas mantles
- Cerium is used to prepare pyrophoric allys
The most important compounds are cerium sulfate (used in cerimetry) and cerium oxide (used as abrasive, etc.)

Answer 5

'Cerium' ???? Wjhat do you want to known about cerium. I suggest you look in Wikipoedia under 'Cerium'.

Answer 6

It is the chemical element of atomic number 58, a silvery white metal. It is the most abundant of the lanthanide elements and is the main component of the alloy misch metal. (Symbol: Ce)
