Electron configuration

Yttrium

Yttrium forms colorless compounds similar to those of aluminum. It has yet to find much importance in use. It is usually found in nature with scandium and lanthanum and the fourteen members of the lanthanide series.

Yttrium is found in the minerals aeschynite, euxenite, bastnaesite and gadolinite.
