2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Ytterbium metal oxidizes rapidly if exposed to air.
Ytterbium metal can dissolve quickly in Mineral acid.

Molybdenum is highly reactive metal, hence not found free in nature .
Till 18th century Molybdenum element were often mistaken as a carbon or Lead.

3 Uses

3.1 Uses & Benefits

Ytterbium metal is used in memory devices and tuneable laser.
It is also used as industrial catalyst as the other catalysts are too toxic and polluting.

Its alloys are used to make engine parts, drills, saw blade, etc.

Lubricant additive made up of Molybdenum disulfide is commonly used in the industry. It is also used as a catalyst.
