properties

Europium (II) sulphate is a white solid, hardly sensitive to air, which, like strontium sulphate, is very slightly soluble in water. Oxidation only occurs months after storage in air. Its crystal structure is isotypic to that of strontium sulfate and barium sulfate and is orthorhombic with the space group Pnma (space group no. 62) . The connection comes in two modifications.
