The most important use of yttrium is in making phosphors. Yttrium oxide (Y2O3) and yttrium orthovanadate (YVO4) are both combined with europium to produce the red phosphor used in televisions set cathode ray tube (CRT) displays and in LEDs. Yttrium is also used as an additive in alloys to increases the strength of aluminium and magnesium alloys.
Symbol: Y Atomic number: 39 Atomic weight: 88.90584 Element category: transition metal Yttrium is a silvery-metallic transition metal, similar to lanthanides. It is found in most rare-earth minerals.
