2022: ☢️ Ionic Radius of Yttrium (Y) [& Discovery, Color, Uses ...

All atom's ions have an ionic radius, even Yttrium. Ok so what is the ionic radius of a Yttrium ion?

In the case of Yttrium the ionic radius is 1.02 (+3) Å. Speaking of Yttrium, let me walk you through some interesting details...

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Ionic Radius of Yttrium (Y) [& Discovery, Color, Uses ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
