Lanthanum is considered a rare earth metal because the process to mine it is difficult, time-consuming and expensive. Lanthanum is rarely the dominant lanthanide found in the rare earth minerals, and in their chemical formulae it is usually preceded by cerium. Rare examples of La-dominant minerals are monazite-(La) and lanthanite-(La).
Lanthanum and its compounds are considered to be moderately toxic. Characteristics: Lanthanum is a silvery-white soft metal, which can be cut with a knife. It is ductile, malleable and exposed surfaces tarnish rapidly in air forming the oxide. Lanthanum reacts with water to form lanthanum hydroxide plus hydrogen gas. Lanthanum is chemically reactive and forms compounds with carbon, nitrogen, boron, selenium, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, and with the halogens. Lanthanum usually exists as a trivalent ion, La 3+ , in its compounds.
