Every atom has an atomic number, even Terbium. 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 Terbium (That most people don't know).
Terbium Overview
Atomic Symbol
Tb (Terbium)
Description
Soft, ductile, silvery-gray, rare earth metal.
State at 20 °C
Solid
Sources
Found with other rare earths in monazite sand, which typically contain 0.03% terbium. Other sources are xenotime and euxenite, both of which are oxide mixtures that can contain up to 1% terbium.

Uses
It is used in modest amounts in special lasers and solid-state devices.
