A new article with the possibility of receiving for free an NFT of the collection the Periodic Table of the Elements on the WAX blockchain. It is sufficient to comment on the article as explained in the "giveaway" paragraph.
Today we talk about the neodymium element. It is the chemical element with atomic number 60 and its symbol is Nd.
Neodymium is a metal belonging to the rare earth group, or lanthanides, present in the alloy called mischmetal up to 18%.
It is a silvery and shiny metal; however, being one of the most reactive lanthanides, it oxidizes rapidly in the air, covering itself with a patina of oxide which, when peeling, exposes new layers of metal to the oxidizing action of the air.
Neodymium is never found in nature in the native state; it is instead found in minerals such as monazite sand and bastnasite. Its separation from other rare earths is rather difficult.
Uses of neodymium include:
- As a component of didymium, used for the coloring of glasses and shields for welders.
- In ergonomic earphones in which the presence of neodymium magnets offers excellent sound quality.
- The use as a dye for glass allows to obtain delicate shades ranging from violet to wine-red up to warm shades of gray.
- Neodymium salts are used as enamel dyes.
- Neodymium is used to produce high coercivity Nd2Fe14B permanent magnets. These materials are less expensive than samarium-cobalt magnets and are also used in the manufacture of earphones.
- Probably due to affinity with Ca2+, the use of Nd3+ as a growth agent for plants has been mentioned: in China the use of rare earth compounds as fertilizers is frequent.
The giveaway
Also for this article, participation in the giveaway will be very simple. Neodymium NFT has a max supply of 200 pieces. There are 100 pieces available for the giveaway.
To participate in the giveaway, simply comment on this article with your WAX address by 16:00 CEST on October 9th. If the number of comments is more than 100, the winners will be drawn (1 user - 1 wallet - 1 NFT).
From the next element, participation in the giveaways will be a little more lively.
By the end of the month, after a long time, the laboratory for the creation of a new simple simple molecule will reopen ....

The Periodic Table of Elements NFT project
The Periodic Table NFT project aims to raise awareness of chemical elements in a modern key, basing the approach on blockchain and Non Fungible Token.
Day after day it will be possible to know the single elements that make up the table, to collect curiosities about each of them and about the table in general.
We are working to be able to learn, in a playful way, also what happens by combining the various elements.
The whole project is based on the collection of NFTs that can be bought on the site https://wax.atomichub.io/market?collection_name=periodicelem&order=desc&sort=created&symbol=WAX or by participating in simple giveaways published on publish0x.
