Holmium III Nitrate Pentahydrate: Holmium (atomic symbol: Ho, atomic number: 67) is a Block F, Group 3, Period 6 element with an atomic radius of 164.93032. The number of electrons in each of Holmium's shells is [2, 8, 18, 29, 8, 2] and its electron configuration is [Xe] 4f11 6s2. The holmium atom has a radius of 176 pm and its Covalent radius is 192±7 pm.
Holmium III Nitrate Pentahydrate: Similar to all other rare earths, holmium is not physically found as a free element. It does occur combined with other elements in gadolinite, monazite and other rare-earth minerals. Holmium is a comparatively soft and malleable element that is moderately corrosion-resistant and stable in dry air at standard temperature and pressure. In moist air and at elevated temperatures, however, it quickly oxidizes, forming a yellowish oxide. In pure form, holmium possesses a metallic, bright silvery luster.
Holmium III Nitrate Pentahydrate: Holmium Nitrate is an extremely water soluble crystalline Holmium source for uses attuned with nitrates and lower (acidic) pH. Nitrate compounds are generally soluble in water. Nitrate materials are also oxidizing agents. When mixed with hydrocarbons, nitrate compounds can form a flammable mixture.
Holmium III Nitrate Pentahydrate: Nitrates are excellent precursors for production of ultra high purity compounds and certain catalyst and nanoscale (nanoparticles and nanopowders) materials. All metallic nitrates are inorganic salts of a given metal cation and the nitrate anion. The nitrate anion is a univalent (-1 charge) polyatomic ion composed of a single nitrogen atom ionically bound to three oxygen atoms (Symbol: NO3) for a total formula weight of 62.05.
Holmium III Nitrate Pentahydrate: Holmium has the highest magnetic moment of any naturally occurring element and has been used to create the highest known magnetic fields as a pole piece or magnetic flux concentrator. Holmium is used in yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) and yttrium-lanthanum-fluoride (YLF) solid-state lasers found in microwave equipment (which are in turn found in a variety of medical and dental settings).
