    Do not repeat the experiments shown in this video!
    Today, I would like to tell you about one more unusual rare-earth metal - about erbium. Like all the other lanthanides, erbium belongs to group 6 in the periodic table. Its atomic number is 68. The history of this element is quite interesting. As many other rare-earth metals, erbium was discovered in Sweden but a small village named Ytterby that is located close to Stockholm was especially profound in this respect. From 15-th century on quartz for blacksmiths was mined in this village and from 18-th century on feldspar for potters was also mined here. In 1787 lieutenant Carl Arrhenius planned to build fortifications in this village but he accidentally saw an unusual black stone that he studied later on because he was was fond of chemistry but he didn’t find anything interesting in this stone. Later still Johan Gadolin, a Finish chemist, managed to find out that 38% of its content was an unknown element and along with that he named the mineral after himself naming it gadolinite. He named the new unknown element ytterbite after the settlement it was found in - Ytterby. Later in the middle of 19-th century another Swedish scientist whose name was Carl Mosander found out that ytterbite consisted of a mix of oxides of new metals. He named them erbium which was an oxide of erbium and terbium which understandably was an oxide of terbium. During the next 30 years the names of these two elements would change until finally in 1905 a pure oxide of erbium was extracted and all obscurities ended. The pure metal was first extracted only in 1934 through the reduction of erbium chloride using potassium vapor as the reducing agent. Nowadays, however, erbium is extracted from such a mineral as xenotime which is mostly found in China. The Chinese have monopolized the rare-earth metals market that is the reason why all the devices are made there, because making them requires rare-earth metals. Getting back to the point, the extracted metallic erbium is very similar to other lanthanides, to terbium for instance. Although it gets attracted to magnets much worse than terbium. By the way to check out the magnetic properties of many elements see the link down in the description. Erbium compounds are of distinctive bright pink color. Thanks to their colors they were discovered when gadolinite was studied. Erbium reacts with acids quite actively. It forms pink erbium chloride, which is slightly more pale than neodymium chloride, when submerged in hydrochloric acid. Like neodymium and holmium compounds, it changes color depending on lighting. In LED light it is more gray whereas in fluorescent lamp light it is bright pink. Chemical properties of all lanthanides are very similar and erbium is not an exception. When ground on our dear grinding wheel, it sparks beautifully burning down in the air and forming 3 valent erbium oxide. However, from the physical point of view erbium and its compounds are among the most widely used.

    I work for an ISP provider so I work very close with fiberoptics and coax. This was extremely interesting as I didn't know about this at all! I've always wondered how theese amplifiers works, but most people just respond with "magic" or they don't know exactly.
    Now I know! Thanks Thoisoi.
    Also, don't change your dialect. Even if it can be hard to understand a few times. But it makes you sound extra smart and important. Like a very important professor who escaped the confines and secrecy of Soviet military development project. And makes the viewer feel like he is a secret agent man.

    ON ERBIUM AND OTHER LANTHANIDES
    For example the most expensive lanthanide is Thulium. It is sold as dendritic crystals.
    The quoted cost of 1Kg of 99.99%TREM Thulium is $1200USD shipping by DHL included direct from China. It seems like a lot of money but it works out to about $1.20USD a gram. If enough local collectors got together it would be a good buy. I am in the fortunate position of being a retired research chemist with few financial worries. For young chemists and collectors financial matters are more important. Thus it is important that they think outside the box to find ways to indulge in their interests.
    Of course the other lanthanide metals (excluding Europium) would be a lot cheaper.

    Nice video. Erbium is a very interesting metal. I added a kilogram of it to my lanthanide metals collection. Not at all expensive when you buy in bulk. I suggest that a few element collectors get together, pool money and buy in bulk. Cut up the ingot - that way each collector gets a lot more for a fewer dollars.

    Erbium is not in the "rare earth group", The rare earths are scandium yttrium lathinium and actinium. I still do not quite understand why chemists will use lathenides and rare earths interchangeably when they're different groups.

  • @project-unifiedfreepeoples

    So from what information i gathered in your video, is in order to amplify the speed of information in the high-speed internet cable, is to form a simple loop? Is that right? What if a simple inductor is wound around the high speed cable, or a magnet introduced to the cable connection at a residency? Seeing that the eribium has magnetic resonance.
