Ionization Energy of Samarium (Sm) [& State, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

Atoms like Samarium may lose electrons, which in turn require ionization energy. Ok but how much ionization is required for an atom of Sm?

Note: Learn more about ionization energy here.

In the case of Samarium the first ionization energy is 544.5 kilojoules per mole. Now let me show you some cool facts about Samarium:

Samarium Data

Samarium (First) Ionization Energy

544.5 kilojoules per mole

State at 20 °C

Solid

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.

Atomic Number

Description

Silvery rare earth metal.

Atomic Symbol

Sm

Name Origin

Named after the mineral samarskite.

Sources

Found with other rare earths in monazite sand. The sand is often 50% rare earths by weight and 2.8% samarium.

Discovery

Discovered By: Paul Émile Lecoq de Boisbaudran
Year: 1879
Location: France

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. "Ionization Energy of Samarium (Sm) [& State, Uses, Discovery ..." 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.
