Mosander was born in Kalmar, Sweden, on September 10, 1797.
Eventually, Mosander became curator of minerals at the Academy and, in 1832, succeeded Berzelius as Permanent Secretary of the Academy.
Carl Gustaf Mosander (Kalmar 10 September 1797 – Lovö, Stockholm County 15 October, 1858) was a Swedish chemist.

 Didymium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"twin element") was discovered by Carl Mosander in 1841 and was so named because it is very similar to lanthanum, with which it was found.
Mosander wrongly believed didymium to be an element, under the impression that "ceria" (sometimes called cerite) isolated by Jöns Jakob Berzelius in 1803 was really a mixture of cerium, lanthanum and didymium.
In 1885 Carl Auer von Welsbach discovered that didymium was really a mixture of the elements praseodymium and neodymium.

Carl Axel Arrhenius, a Swedish artillery officer and amateur geologist, discovered a new mineral which he called ytterbite, as it was found in Ytterby, Sweden.
Carl Gustaf Mosander isolated lanthanum (from the Greek lanthanein: to escape notice) and ‘didymium’ (from the Greek didumos: twin, as its properties are very similar to lanthanum).
Carl Auer von Welsbach, in Robert Bunsen's laboratory, noticed that the rare earths displayed bright light in the burner flame and developed the lace gas mantle, which is composed of thorium oxide with small amounts of cerium oxide.

 57 Lanthanum
Lanthanum was discovered in 1839 by Carl Gustav Mosander (1797-1858), since 1832 professor of chemistry and mineralogy at the Caroline Institute in Stockholm, as successor of Jöns Jakob Berzelius (1779-1848).
In 1825, Berzelius has asked Mosander to prepare Cerium sulphide and it was during the course of this work that Mosander became convinced that this oxide contained another earth (oxide) (Cf.
Mosander withheld publication frustrating Berzelius and Wöhler, while continuing his efforts at purification.

The next element discovered when Mosander showed that the cerium isolated in 1803 by Berzelius was actually a mixture of cerium, lanthanum and so-called didymium (which was not actually one element, and was resolved into two in 1885).
A number of elements were first identified by their spectroscopic emission lines: caesium and rubidium were discovered by Bunsen and Kirchhoff analysing the spectrum of alkali salts.
The 'didymium' isolated by Mosander in 1839 was shown to actually be two separate elements, praseodymium and neodymium:

 59 Praseodymium
Mosander did not wanted to announce his new "discovery" prematurely, but since Theodor Scheerer (1813-1875) in Norway was analyzing gadolinite and could conclude the same thing, Mosander presented his observation at the Scandinavian Meeting of Natural Scientists in Stockholm in July 1842.
Also is said that he thought it had been given because Mosander had four children, all born as twins.
However, Mosander did not want to change it, since he intentionally looked for a name beginning with D in order to have a symbol unlike those for other metals.

 65 Terbium
Mosander has separated yttria into three earths, a colorless oxide which kept the name yttria; a yellow earth erbia, and a rosy earth terbia, containing the elements Yttrium, Terbium, and Erbium.
It is also said that since the original earth was divided into three new earths, Mosander split the name of Ytterby in three parts: ytt, terb, and erb.
Mosander's original erbia was confirmed by Marc Delafontaine in 1878 and, renamed terbia, since the name erbia was already common for Mosander's terbia.

Carl Gustav Mosander (1797 - 1858, at right), an assistant of Berzelius, lived the house with Berzelius and his wife for years.
In 1843 he further showed that yttria from which all the ceria, lanthana, and didymia had been removed, still contained at least three other earths, a colorless oxide for which he kept the name yttria, a yellow earth erbia, and a rose-colored terbia.
Carl Auer was a quiet, industrious, unsociable boy from Austria who became a favorite student of Bunsen in Heidelberg.

Discovered by: Carl Gustaf Mosander (1797-1858), a Swedish chemist.
Carl Mosander recognized the element lanthanum in impure cerium nitrate in 1839.
While studying a compound of cerium, he found a new element which he named lanthanum from a Greek word meaning “hidden”, because it had been hidden so effectively in those minerals.

In 1842, Gustav Mosander separated yttria, found in the mineral gadolinite, into three fractions which he called yttria, erbia, and terbia.
After 1860, Mosander’s terbia was known as erbia, and after 1877, the earlier known erbia became terbia.
The erbia of this period was later shown to consist of five oxides, now known as erbia, scandia, holmia, thulia and ytterbia.

 It's Elemental - The Element Erbium
In 1843, Carl Gustaf Mosander, a Swedish chemist, was able to separate gadolinite into three materials, which he named yttria, erbia and terbia.
As might be expected considering the similarities between their names and properties, scientists soon confused erbia and terbia and, by 1877, had reversed their names.
Erbia, the renamed material that Mosander discovered in 1843, is erbium oxide (Er), one of erbium's compounds.

So there were now two very similar earths, yttria and ceria, from neither of which could the metals be extracted by the techniques of the time.
Isolation of the element in ceria had to wait until the late 1830s, when Carl Mosander (a pupil of Berzelius’) managed to decompose the oxide using potassium vapour (a procedure to be watched from a distance, in my view).
By the usual convention, the element he obtained became known as
