  1. Terbium By: Rachel Goldstein

  2. Melting Point: 1360.0 °C Boiling Point: 3041.0 °C Density @ 293 K: 8.27 g/cm3 Color: silvery white Thermal conductivity: 11.1J/m-sec-deg Electrical conductivity: 8.8 1/mohm-cm Characteristics: soft Uses: in color TV's Uses: some types used in laser materials Uses: added to calcium fluoride to alter its properties Uses: in high temperature fuel cells Uses: a component in some alloys Uses: in making CDs Properties and Uses

  3. Facts • Discovered by a Swedish man named Carl Mosander • Named after a Swedish village called Ytterby • One of the “rare earth” elements [nos. 57-71] • Used to be thought of as rare • Found in the Earth’s crust, but not a lot in one place • Can’t be mined

  4. A Song About Terbium[to the tune of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer] Terbium, the rare earth metal [metal] It is used in our TVs It makes them so much brighter [brighter] It is really quite handy Terbium, the silver white metal [metal] It is used in our CDs It’s a component in alloys [alloys] It’ll make your life easy
