========== Yeah so neodymium is one my favourite f elements
to work with. Whenyou use it in compounds and you dissolve it,
often you get colourful bluesolutions from it. Sometimes they are green
as well, but often I havefound that if concentration of the solution
makes a really big differenceto the colour of these solutions so you may
have a compound whichappears to be red but actually as you dilute
it down eventually it ends upbeing blue, which is really pretty and sometimes
if you cannula it fromone flask to another and you can see through
the cannula you can see itchange colour as it goes through the cannula
and then drops into thenext solution again.So neodymium is one of the rare earths and
it has a number of quiteimportant applications. One of my favourite
is in lasers...
