    The "holm" in Stockholm means a small island. It's not very common in English anymore but still remains in Nordic languages like Swedish.

Just trying to clarify that this comment so far is not meant to be percieved as offensive, but quite the opposite.

    I don't know chemistry that well but it sure is interesting that when you review Holmium's characteristic traits it seems like it could be a major component of a neutron star. It absorb neutrons and has the highest magnetic moment of any other element. Also, I learned that Holmium has a half life of 1200 years because of it's high spin. Also, it;s high excitation rate produces gamma rays in the decay process. There are so many characteristic traits of Holmium that make me think of a neutron star/black hole. It most certainly SHOULD NOT be the forgotten element, otherwise, we will be in spiral straits.

    "Chem Fever Series"
    Holmium is the 67th element in the periodic table. It is soft and malleable with the symbol being Ho. This element belongs to the series of lanthanides in the periodic table. It has excellent stability at room temperature and is soluble in acids.
    Holmium can absorb neutrons, so it is used in nuclear reactors to keep a chain reaction under control. A magnetic pole piece with magnetic iron powder to demonstrate that Holmium has the highest magnetic strength of any element. Holmium is used in alloys for the production of magnets.
    Holmium and its soluble salts are slightly toxic if ingested, but insoluble holmium salts are nontoxic. Metallic holmium in dust form presents a fire and explosion hazard. Large amounts of holmium salts can cause severe damage if inhaled, consumed orally, or injected.
    Atomic properties
    Atomic number (Number of protons): 67. Atomic mass (Number of protons + neutrons): 164.9. Valency: +3.
    Holmium is found as a minor component of the minerals monazite and bastnaesite. It is extracted from those ores that are processed to extract yttrium. It is obtained by ion exchange and solvent extraction.
    The color of holmium is silvery white.
    holmium (Ho), chemical element, a rare-earth metal of the lanthanide series of the periodic table. Holmium is a moderately hard, silvery white metal that is relatively stable in air.
    Holmium metal should be stored in tightly-closed containers under argon or mineral oil.
    Naturally occurring holmium consists entirely of a single isotope, holmium-165, which is not radioactive. The longest-lived radioactive isotope is holmium-163 with a half-life of 4,570 years.

    I think that Gd is a true neutron eater. When it comes to abundance of odd isotopes it's more about the pairing energy because nucleons prefer to have a couple. Other factor which makes some nuclei more abundant is the shell energy. Similar to electrons you can quantize nucleons in a potential (but created by themselves) and you get different orbitals and shells. When the shell is full you have a magical nucleus. Still love you guys!

    The chart N vs Z appears to be relative prevalence of elements in the sun. This will be quite different to relative abundance on Earth, or the universe as a whole, since a fair bit of "metal" is created in supernova explosions at the end of a star's life. And the universe is still fairly early in it's star phase. We see a much higher abundance of heavier elements (referred to astronomically as metals) on earth.

    For those wondering why the lanthanides are "antisocial" it's because the f-electrons which are doing the electronic transitions are more buried than usual (when compared to the transition metals). This means that they are less affected (and don't really contribute to bonding) by being bonded to organic ligands whereas the transition metals change dramatically.

      +Scott Mantooth Oh I guarantee it. The only elements that are arguably not reactive with anything are the noble gases, though even then there are exceptions (ie xenon) though there's debate as to whether or not they count (it depends on how 'bonds' and 'reactions' are defined). Holmium would have 2 outer electrons in its highest shell, which would most certainly be reactive (especially since the larger the atom, the weaker the hold on the outer most electrons, analogous to how gravity weakens as distance increases). And anything that could donate electrons easily can do some form of reactions.

    think of Holmium as the Hobbit element. it lives in a Hobbit Hole in the middle earth elements and comes out every once in a while to go on unexpected adventures!

    You need to do a video on learning the elements of the table, not just the first row f

    ,How many elements are named after something swedish? I'm absolutely loving it.

      Tim Stahel Really quite a few! Have a read about Ytterby quarry, a lot of new elements were discovered there. I think this channel has a video on it as well.

    funny that stephen says lanthanides dont change much. i did research that was based on them changing depending on whats bound to them! :)

    My takeaway: Beryllium: Very light element. Even atomic number. Super rare.
    I'm kinda surprised they made no mention of that obvious outlier.

      +ellaser93 They were speaking generally about it the subject to stay focused on Holmium. Plus, if I remember correctly, the rule they mentioned is a trend, not a concrete fact. The particular abundances are controlled by the actually mechanisms involved in fusion, fission, etc. For example Beryllium has only one stable isotope, and most of the radioactive ones decay into something other than Beryllium, amounting to only so much Beryllium existing in nature.

      +CyberizedFuture Also, Odoo-Harkins effect is applied to the whole galaxy. On a planetary level, a whole lot of things may have happened to separate the elements. The upper-crust isn't a reliable picture of the chemistry of our whole planet (considering the mantle adn the core).

    It feels good to be back on the sunny side of UA-cam. I just spent a few hours watching the darker side. Lists of serial killers, horrible accidents and the like. Why do I keep doing that to myself?? Especially on late nights when the weather is bad and I'm home alone.
