Neodymium is the fourth member of the lanthanide series. In the periodic table, it appears between the lanthanides praseodymium to its left and the radioactive element promethium to its right, and above the actinide uranium. Its 60 electrons are arranged in the configuration [Xe]4f 4 6s 2, of which the six 4f and 6s electrons are valence.
Inventor Masato Sagawa demonstrating a NdFeB magnet's force with 2 kg bottle. A neodymium magnet (also known as NdFeB, NIB or Neo magnet) is a permanent magnet made from an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron to form the Nd 2 Fe 14 B tetragonal crystalline structure. [1] They are the most widely used type of rare-earth magnet.

Neodymium compounds are compounds formed by the lanthanide metal neodymium (Nd). In these compounds, neodymium generally exhibits the +3 oxidation state, such as NdCl 3, Nd 2 (SO 4) 3 and Nd (CH 3 COO) 3. Compounds with neodymium in the +2 oxidation state are also known, such as NdCl 2 and NdI 2. Some neodymium compounds have colors that vary ...
The periodic table, also known as the periodic table of the elements, is an ordered arrangement of the chemical elements into rows (" periods ") and columns (" groups "). It is an icon of chemistry and is widely used in physics and other sciences. It is a depiction of the periodic law, which states that when the elements are arranged in order ...
Lanthanide oxides: clockwise from top center: praseodymium, cerium, lanthanum, neodymium, samarium and gadolinium. The chemistry of the lanthanides is dominated by the +3 oxidation state, and in Ln III compounds the 6s electrons and (usually) one 4f electron are lost and the ions have the configuration [Xe]4f (n−1).

Praseodymium. double hexagonal close-packed (dhcp) (hP4) Praseodymium is a chemical element; it has symbol Pr and the atomic number 59. It is the third member of the lanthanide series and is considered one of the rare-earth metals. It is a soft, silvery, malleable and ductile metal, valued for its magnetic, electrical, chemical, and optical ...
Infobox references. Neodymium (III) oxide or neodymium sesquioxide is the chemical compound composed of neodymium and oxygen with the formula Nd 2 O 3. It forms very light grayish-blue hexagonal crystals. [ 1] The rare-earth mixture didymium, previously believed to be an element, partially consists of neodymium (III) oxide.
