What color is dysprosium?
Dysprosium has a silvery white lustre.
Is dysprosium radioactive?
For nearly all practical purposes, dysprosium can be regarded as stable. There is a single naturally occurring radioactive isotope of dysprosium, but it is only 0.06% of what is found, and its half life is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 years, so long it is very hard to measure. Like all other elements, dysprosium has synthetic radioactive isotopes.
How much is dysprosium a gram?
I don't answer homework questions, but I'll show you how to get the answer. Go to the link, and look up the density of dysprosium in g/cc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysprosium Take the reciprocal the density. You're done.
