Thulium(II) chloride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula TmCl2.
Production[edit]
Thulium(II) chloride can be produced by reducing thulium(III) chloride by thulium metal:[1]
- 2 TmCl3 + Tm → 3 TmCl2
Chemical properties[edit]
Thulium(II) chloride reacts with water violently, producing hydrogen gas and thulium(III) hydroxide. When thulium(II) chloride first touches water, a light red solution is formed, which fades quickly.[1]
Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
