Application

Gadolinium is a soft, shiny, ductile, silvery metal belonging to the lanthanide group of the periodic chart. The metal does not tarnish in dry air but an oxide film forms in moist air. Gadolinium reacts slowly with water and dissolves in acids. Gadolinium becomes superconductive below 1083 K. It is strongly magnetic at room temperature.

Gadolinium is another one of the exotics known to chemistry majors as the lanthanides row and due to expense, difficulty in extraction and overall rarity it's remained little more than a lab curiosity.
