It is rarely found in nature. ]]> 2018-09-17 22:16:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282626869 kirosher000 https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282627479 I chose Yttrium because while looking at the periodic table, I decided I wanted to use the one that read “Y”.  ]]> 2018-09-17 22:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282627479 kirosher000 https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282627904 2018-09-17 22:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282627904 kirosher000 https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282629176 Yttrium is a soft, silvery metallic and it is a transition metal. It’s natural state is a solid. ]]> 2018-09-17 22:29:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282629176 kirosher000 https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282631058 Yttrium in it’s regular state is stable with oxegyn, due to a thin layer of protective oxide. When divided into small pieces however (shavings etc.) the pieces can combust in reaction to the oxegyn in the air. ]]> 2018-09-17 22:42:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282631058 kirosher000 https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282632406 A lot actually, for one example i’m going to use YAG (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Y₃Al₅O₁₂) This is a crystal like compound used in lasers for cataract and glaucoma surgeries. In japan a car model is being made where this specific laser can be used instead of a spark plug, these lasers can also be used to make surface markings in glass or wood (Like engravements) ]]> 2018-09-17 22:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282632406 kirosher000 https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282640119 Wrong! Yttrium is used in a variety of things for example Yttrium is used as a coating layer around bulletproof glass to make it shock resistant! It is used as a heterogenous mixture in bulletproof glass, because the layer of yttrium glass is on top of other layers, they can be shattered separately. ]]> 2018-09-17 23:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282640119 kirosher000 https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282640496  Yttrium is also in the red pixels on you tv screen! ]]> 2018-09-17 23:44:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282640496 kirosher000 https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282640593 2018-09-17 23:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282640593 kirosher000 https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282641878 2018-09-17 23:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282641878 kirosher000 https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282641936 2018-09-17 23:55:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kirosher000/hdlsnmkq71rp/wish/282641936
