Yttrium (Y)

Yttrium (Y)

Yttrium was discovered in 1794 and is found in nearly all of the rare-earth minerals.

Relatively stable in air, yttrium has a silver-metallic luster. However, fine pieces of the metal will ignite in air at temperatures greater than 400 °C.

Natural yttrium contains one isotope, but nineteen unstable isotopes have also been characterized. Lunar rock samples show relatively high content levels of yttrium.

It is recovered commercially from monazite sand and from bastnasite. Yttrium oxide is used to make compounds that provide the red color in television tubes and to produce yttrium-iron-garnets used as microwave filters.
