Europium Metal (Eu)-Pellets
Product Description
Characteristic
Europium is a chemical element with the symbol Eu and atomic number 63. Europium is the most reactive lanthanide by far, having to be stored under an inert fluid to protect it from atmospheric oxygen or moisture.
Phase at STP： solid
Melting point： 1099 K (826 °C, 1519 °F)
Boiling point： 1802 K (1529 °C, 2784 °F)
Density (near r.t.)： 5.264 g/cm3
when liquid (at m.p.)： 5.13 g/cm3
Heat of fusion： 9.21 kJ/mol
