Holmium metal is a soft, malleable, ductile, silvery rare earth metal, also belonging to the lanthanide group of the periodic table. It has the highest magnetic permeability of any element, similar to dysprosium. It is fairly corrosion-resistant and stable in dry air at standard temperature and pressure, but easily oxidizes in moist air. Holmium has the highest magnetic moment of the naturally occurring elements, and forms highly magnetic compounds when alloyed with yttrium. At ambient conditions, Holmium is paramagnetic.
