A trivalent element, pure erbium metal is malleable (or easily
shaped), soft yet stable in air, and does not oxidize as quickly as some
other rare-earth metals. Its salts are rose-colored, and the element has
characteristic sharp absorption spectra bands in visible light,
ultraviolet, and near infrared. Otherwise it looks much like the other
rare earths. Its sesquioxide is called erbia. Erbium's properties are to a
degree dictated by the kind and amount of impurities present. Erbium
does not play any known biological role, but is thought to be able to
stimulate metabolism.(in Spanish: Erbio)](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/erbio-130506035602-phpapp02/85/Erbio-1-320.jpg)

Erbio
Erbium is a rare earth metal that was discovered in 1842 by Carl Gustaf Mosander. It has a melting point of 1802 K and a boiling point of 3141 K. Erbium is malleable and soft yet stable in air, though it does not oxidize as quickly as some other rare earth metals. Its salts are rose-colored and it has characteristic absorption spectra bands in visible light, ultraviolet, and near infrared.
