Europium ignites in air at about 150 to 180°C. Europium is about as hard as lead and is quite ductile. It is the most reactive of the rare earth metals, quickly oxidising in air. It resembles calcium in its reaction with water.

Uses of Europium ... Because Europium is fairly difficult to obtain it has few practical uses. Europium is unique in the fact that it can absorb more neutrons per atom then any other element. Thus making Europium and its isotopes very valuable in control rods of nuclear reactors.
