All about Praseodymium: Properties, Color, Uses and more... 2022

Welcome to my Praseodymium element data sheet page.

On this page I'll provide comprehensive data for Praseodymium. I hope you profit from it.

Praseodymium Overview

Name Origin

Greek: prasios and didymos (green twin); from its green salts.

Symbol

Pr (Praseodymium)

Description

Silvery white, moderately soft, malleable, ductile metal.

Discovery

Discovered By: C.F. Aver von Welsbach
Year: 1885
Location: Austria

Sources

Obtained from same salts as neodymium.

Uses

Used with neodymium to make lenses for glass maker's goggles since it filters out the yellow light present in glass blowing. Alloyed with magnesium creates a high-strength metal used in aircraft engines. Makes up 5% of Mich metal.
