History:
Discovery process: Lutetium was separated from ytterbium by French chemist Urban in 1906. It is also a rare earth element discovered and confirmed in the early 20th century. The Latin name of Lutetium comes from the ancient name of Paris, France, which is Urban's birthplace.
The discovery of lutetium and another rare earth element, europium, completed the discovery of all rare earth elements existing in nature.
Their discovery can be considered to have opened the fourth door to the discovery of rare earth elements and completed the fourth stage of the discovery of rare earth elements.
