Contributions to the chemistry of the rare earths of the yttrium group
Abstract
In his examination of the earths of the "Yttria" of Gadolin and Ekeberg during the years 1839 to 1843 Mosander, by methods based on the differences in the strengths of the oxides as bases, separated the earth into three new oxides, yttria proper, the most strongly basis, terbia, intermediate in strength, and erbia, the least basis. No further separation was accomplished until 1878 when Marginac, by fractional decomposition of the nitrates, separated from erbia a new oxide, for which he proposed the name ytterbia; the new oxide was found to be the least basic of the erbia earths.
