Note: Associated with yttrium are certain rare elements, as erbium, ytterbium, samarium, etc., which are separated in a pure state with great difficulty. They are studied by means of their spark or phosphorescent spectra. Yttrium is now regarded as probably not a simple element, but as a mixture of several substances. From WordNet (r) 1.6 (wn) yttrium n : a silvery metallic element that is common in rare-earth minerals; used in magnesium and aluminum alloys [syn: {Y}, {atomic number 39}] From The Elements (22Oct97) (elements) yttrium Symbol: Y Atomic number: 39 Atomic weight: 88.905 Silvery-grey metallic element of group 3 on the periodic table.
