    • found: Wikipedia, Aug. 29, 2012:Cerium(IV) oxide (Cerium(IV) oxide, also known as ceric oxide, ceria, cerium oxide or cerium dioxide, is an oxide of the rare earth metal cerium. It is a pale yellow-white powder with the chemical formula CeO₂. Cerium also forms cerium(III) oxide, Ce₂O₃, but CeO₂ is the most stable phase at room temperature and under atmospheric conditions.) Cerium(III) oxide (Cerium(III) oxide is an oxide of the rare earth metal cerium. It has chemical formula Ce₂O₃, and is gold-yellow in color. IUPAC name: Cerium(III) oxide; other names: Cerium sesquioxide)
