Every atom has an atomic number, even Holmium. But what is an "Atomic Number"?
The atomic number of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of the atom of that element.Ok so I'll take you through some interesting facts and data about Holmium (That most people don't know).
Holmium Overview
Atomic Symbol
Ho (Holmium)
Description
Fairly soft, malleable, lustrous, silvery metal.
State at 20 °C
Solid
Sources
Occurs in gadolinite. Most often from monazite which is often 50% rare earth and typically 0.05% holmium.

Uses
It has very few practical applications; however, it has some unusual magnetic properties that offer some hope for future applications.
