Subject: [TN] Element Quiz Question
The Question:
This element reacts with water forming hydrogen. This element is never
found as a free element in nature. In 2018, a rich supply of this element
was discovered off the coast near Japan's Minamitori Island. An oxide of
this element is used in green phosphors in fluorescent lamps and color TV
tubes (does anyone remember those?). A borate compound containing this
element is used in solid state devices. The mineral xenotime. Name the element
being described?

- Perfect timing! The rain has stopped and they can enjoy some sun. If
they get here in time, I’ll try to sneak them into the photo of my
