Zgodovina
Jöns Jakob Berzelius and Wilhelm Hisinger discovered the element in ceria in 1803 in Sweden.

Klaproth discovered it simultaneously and independently in some tantalum samples in Germany.

Carl Gustaf Mosander, who worked closely with Berzelius, prepared metallic cerium in 1825.

Uporabe
Cerium is used in carbon-arc lighting, especially in the motion picture industry.

Cerium oxide is an important component of glass polishing powders and phosphors used in screens and fluorescent lamps.

Cerium compounds are also used in the manufacture of glass, both as a component and as a decolorizer.
Cerium is considered to be moderately toxic
