| | | | Term Symbol | 2 D 3/2 | | Discovery | In 1794, the Finnish chemist Johan Gadolin (Åbo, Finland) discovered yttrium in the mineral ytterbite, which was later renamed gadolinite for Gadolin. Gadolin originally called the element ytterbium after ytterbite. The name was subsequently shortened to yttrium, and later another element was given the name ytterbium. The Swedish surgeon and chemist Carl-Gustav Mosander separated the element in 1843. | | Name Derived From | The name derives from the Swedish village of Ytterby where the mineral gadolinite was found. |
