Element of the day • 63 – Europium – Eu • Europium is named for the continent of Europe. 4 elements are named after countries – germanium (32), polonium (84), francium (87) and americium (95). • Europium is used in phosphorescent paint (glow in the dark). • Europium vapors are also used in old CRT (cathode-ray tube) TVs – it was the element that took TVs from having shoddy color to vibrant colors with its bright reds. They are also used in CFL bulbs.
