What does dysprosium react with?
Dysprosium makes a new substance with 10 other elements and chemicals in our lab:
- Dysprosium + HydrogenDysprosium hydride Dy + H₂ → DyH₂ · When heated · Try it
- Dysprosium + NitrogenDysprosium nitride 2Dy + N₂ → 2DyN · Only when heated very strongly · Try it
- Dysprosium + OxygenDysprosium oxide 4Dy + 3O₂ → 2Dy₂O₃ · When heated · Try it
- Dysprosium + FluorineDysprosium fluoride 2Dy + 3F₂ → 2DyF₃ · At room temperature · Try it
- Dysprosium + SulfurDysprosium sulfide 2Dy + 3S → Dy₂S₃ · When heated · Try it
- Dysprosium + ChlorineDysprosium chloride 2Dy + 3Cl₂ → 2DyCl₃ · When heated · Try it
- Dysprosium + BromineDysprosium bromide 2Dy + 3Br₂ → 2DyBr₃ · When heated · Try it
- Dysprosium + IodineDysprosium iodide 2Dy + 3I₂ → 2DyI₃ · When heated · Try it
- Dysprosium + WaterDysprosium hydroxide + hydrogen gas 2Dy + 6H₂O → 2Dy(OH)₃ + 3H₂ · At room temperature · Try it
- Dysprosium + Hydrochloric AcidDysprosium chloride + hydrogen gas 2Dy + 6HCl → 2DyCl₃ + 3H₂ · At room temperature · Try it
It also blends into a mixture, like an alloy, with 73 other metals when melted together.
Nothing happens when it's simply mixed with 15 of the others. 21 pairings have never been tried, because not enough atoms have ever existed.
