Yttrium is a chemical element wi seembol Y an atomic nummer 39. It is a sillery-metallic transeetion metal chemically seemilar tae the lanthanides an it haes eften been clessifee'd as a "rare yird element".^[3] Yttrium is almaist always foond combined wi the lanthanides in rare yird minerals an is never foond in naiture as a free element. Its anly stable isotope, ⁸⁹Y, is an aa its anly naiturally occurrin isotope.

In 1787, Carl Axel Arrhenius foond a new mineral near Ytterby in Swaden an named it ytterbite, efter the veelage. Johan Gadolin discovered yttrium's oxide in Arrhenius' sample in 1789,^[4] an Anders Gustaf Ekeberg named the new oxide yttria. Elemental yttrium wis first isolated in 1828 bi Friedrich Wöhler.^[5]
