'''Neodymium''' is a chemical element. Its symbol is Nd and its atomic number is 60. It is a soft silvery metal that tarnishes in air. It is used, alloyed with [[Iron]] and [[Boron]], in the making of high-strength permanent [[magnet]]s.<ref>https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=W0Emv9dAJ1kC&pg=PA73&lpg=PA73&dq=%22neodymium+magnet%22+strongest&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22neodymium%20magnet%22%20strongest&f=false</ref>
