Neodymium (Nd) Element Properties
Atomic Mass 144.24
Atomic Number 60
Name Origins Greek, neos didymos = "new twin"
Year Discovered 1885
Discovery Credits Separated by Baron Auer von Welshach at Vienna, Austria
Remarks Silvery-white metal of the lanthanide (rare earth) group. Tarnishes in air, reacts slowly with cold water, rapidly with hot. Used in alloys for permanent-magnets, flints, glazes, and glass.

Diagnostic tests: 
There are no simple diagnostic tests to identify neodymium.
X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy is commonly employed to identify and analyze members of the Rare-Earth group elements.
