What's the difference between cerium and euxenite?
Cerium
Definition:
(n.) A rare metallic element, occurring in the minerals cerite, allanite, monazite, etc. Symbol Ce. Atomic weight 141.5. It resembles iron in color and luster, but is soft, and both malleable and ductile. It tarnishes readily in the air.
Example Sentences:
(1) Moreover, lanthanum itself as well as lanthanides other than cerium, e.g., gadolinium and didymium (praseodymium, neodymium), were successfully applied and can be recommended as capture agents for phosphatase cytochemistry.
(2) Electron energy-loss spectroscopic element-distribution images are acquired from cytochemical reaction products in a variety of cellular objects: (1) colloidal thorium particles in extra-cellular coat material, (2) iron-containing ferritin particles in liver parenchymal cells, (3) barium-containing reaction products in endoplasmic reticulum stacks, (4) elements present in lysosomal cerium- and barium-containing precipitates connected with acid phosphatase (AcPase) or aryl sulphatase (AS) enzyme activity.

(6) Short (t less than 1 h) postfixation with either OsO4 plus K4Fe (CN)6 or OsO4 plus aminotriazole, added to lysosomal cerium localization a high membrane contrast.
(7) Sixty-four patients aged 16-74 years with total body surface area burns (TBSA) ranging from 30 to 90 per cent, were given one bathing in 0.04 M cerium nitrate within 4 h of admission to hospital.
(8) The new mode is based on the conversion of cerium phosphate into cerium oxalate.
(9) Lead is prevalently replaced by cerium as trapping agent in phosphatase cytochemistry to prevent non-specific precipitation.
(10) Microanalysis by electron microprobe permitted: (i) the lysosomal localization of cerium to be determined; and (ii) the lysosomal coprecipitation of cerium with phosphorus to be demonstrated.
(11) Two characteristic-line x-ray sources, one using the split K alpha 1 and K alpha 2 lines of lanthanum excited by a high-energy electron beam and the other using the K alpha lines of barium and cerium, were studied.

(14) Experiments with a daily intake marker suggest that cerium was not satisfactory as a multiple marker in which neutron activation analysis was the method of determination.
(15) The localization of the basal AC activity in heart tissue seems to be better with cerium as capture agent than with lead.

Euxenite
Definition:
(n.) A brownish black mineral with a metallic luster, found in Norway. It contains niobium, titanium, yttrium, and uranium, with some other metals.
