Chemical Name: Ytterbium
Chemical Formula: Yb
a) Ytterbium metal occurs along with other rare earths in many rare minerals. It is a lustrous, bright silver with potential use in improving the strength and mechanical properties of stainless steel.
b) Ytterbium is soft, malleable, and ductile. It reacts slowly with water and is soluble in dilute acids.
