NEODIMIO

The neodimio is a chemical element of the periodic table which symbol is Nd and his atomic number is 60.
To the temperature environment, he is solid-state
It is a rare land that composes Misch's metal approximately in 18 % being one of the rare lands more it reactivates. Metal-worker - silvering possesses a sheen and brilliant. It gets dark rapidly to the contact with the air forming an oxide.
The neodimio was discovered by Carl Auer von Welsbach, an Austrian chemist, in Vienna in the year 1885. It separated the neodimio, as well as the praseodimio, from a material called didimio by means of spectroscopic analyses. Nevertheless, this metal was not isolated before 1925. The name neodimio there comes from the Greek words neos didymos (new twin). Information obtained of www.wikipedia.org
