The only sure thing is that every atom has a symbol. But what is the atom whose symbol is Tb?
The answer is Terbium (Tb). However there is a lot of stuff about Terbium that people don't know. Let me walk you through...
Terbium Overview
Atomic Symbol
Tb (Terbium)
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.
