Lanthanum is traditionally counted among the <a href="/wiki/Rare_earth_element" class="mw-redirect" title="Rare earth element">rare earth elements</a>. Like most other rare earth elements, its usual <a href="/wiki/Oxidation_state" title="Oxidation state">oxidation state</a> is +3, although some compounds are known with an oxidation state of +2.

Lanthanum was first found by the Swedish chemist <a href="/wiki/Carl_Gustaf_Mosander" title="Carl Gustaf Mosander">Carl Gustaf Mosander</a> in 1839 as an impurity in <a href="/wiki/Cerium_nitrate" class="mw-redirect" title="Cerium nitrate">cerium nitrate</a> – hence the name <i>lanthanum</i>, from the <a href="/wiki/Ancient_Greek" title="Ancient Greek">ancient Greek</a> <span class="texhtml"><span title="Ancient Greek (to 1453)-language text"><span lang="grc">λανθάνειν</span></span></span> (<span title="Ancient Greek (to 1453)-language romanization"><i lang="grc-Latn">lanthanein</i></span>), meaning 'to lie hidden'. Although it is classified as a rare earth element, lanthanum is the 28th most abundant element in the Earth's crust, almost three times as abundant as <a href="/wiki/Lead" title="Lead">lead</a>.
