Does the human body use yttrium?
Yttrium oxysulfide used to be widely used to produce red phosphors for old-style colour television tubes. The radioactive isotope yttrium-90 has medical uses. It can be used to treat some cancers, such as liver cancer. Yttrium has no known biological role.
Can yttrium be found on the moon?
Lunar rocks gathered during the Apollo moon missions contain yttrium. The human body also contains yttrium in tiny amounts, usually concentrated in the liver, kidneys, and bones.
How to tell how many valence electrons?
If you look at the periodic table and at the period numbers, that is the number of valence electrons. If the number is larger than 10, subtract 10 so you get two valence electrons. Example: Oxygen is in the 16th period. If we subtract 10 from 16, we get 6; therefore, oxygen has six valence electrons.
What do valence electrons do?
Valence electron. In chemistry, a valence electron is an outer shell electron that is associated with an atom , and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

How many valence electrons are in each element?
Any element in group 18 has eight valence electrons (except for helium, which has a total of just two electrons). Examples include neon (Ne), argon (Ar), and krypton (Kr). Oxygen, like all the other elements in group 16, has six valence electrons.
What is the electron configuration of yttrium?
