  1. Ytterbium By, Caroline Hall

  2. *PROPERTIES* Ytterbium is a silvery color The boiling point is 1193 °C The melting point is 824 °C The hardness of Ytterbium is 6570 kg/m3 Ytterbium is metal 1st ionization potential 603.4 kJ/mol 2nd ionization potential 1174.8 kJ/mol 3rd ionization potential 2417 kJ/mol 4th ionization potential 4203 kJ/mol *USES* Ytterbium can be used to improve strength, and grain refinement It can be used to help strengthen and the magnification of a laser beam When electricity isn’t working, ytterbium can be used with an x-ray machine that’s portable Ytterbium can be used for Metallurgical and Chemical Experiments It is used to make steel stronger Ytterbium Properties and Uses

  3. Interesting Facts about Ytterbium!!! • Discovered:1878 • Discoverer: Jean De Marignac • Ytterbium gets its name and symbol from Ytterby, Sweden • Found in the Earths Crust

  4. Atomic Number: 70 Improve strength and grain refinement Atomic Mass: Mass:173.04 Metallurgical and Chemical Experiments Basic Info Uses Symbol: Yb It can be used with a portable x-ray machine if electricity is unavailable Ytterbium Silvery luster 1878 By, Jean De Marignac Solid Properties Origin Metal Melting Point 824 °C
