Every atom has an atomic number, even Samarium. 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 Samarium (That most people don't know).
Samarium Overview
Atomic Symbol
Sm (Samarium)
Description
Silvery rare earth metal.
State at 20 °C
Solid
Sources
Found with other rare earths in monazite sand. The sand is often 50% rare earths by weight and 2.8% samarium.

Uses
It is used in the electronics and ceramics industries. It is easily magnetized and very difficult to demagnetize. This suggests important future applications in solid-state and superconductor technologies.
