Ytterbium Compound

About Ytterbium Compounds

Ytterbium is a chemical element with the symbol Yb and atomic number 70. It is the fourteenth element in the Lanthanide series and the penultimate member, due to its relatively stable +2 oxidation state. However, its most common oxidation state is +3, as seen in its oxides, halides and other compounds. In aqueous solution, soluble ytterbium compounds form complexes with 9 water molecules. Its density, melting point and boiling point differ from those of other lanthanides given its closed-shell electron configuration.

Natural ytterbium consists of seven stable isotopes that occur at an overall concentration of 3 parts per million. This element is mined in China, the USA, Brazil and India from the minerals Monazit, Euxenit and Xenotim. It is less frequently noted among the rare earth elements, and it is one of the least abundant. Once extracted and processed, ytterbium poses hazards as it irritates the eyes, pores and skin. It also represents a fire and explosion risk.

Stanford Advanced Materials supplies ytterbium compounds that comply with industry specifications at competitive prices.
