Cadmium Single Crystal 48Cd112.40
Discovered in 1817 by F. Stromeyer at Göttingen, Germany.
[Latin: cadmia = calamine] French: cadmiumGerman: kadmium
Italian: cadmio
Spanish: cadmio
Description: Cadmium is a silvery metal that tarnishes in air, and is soluble in acids but not alkalis. It is used in rechargeable batteries, alloys and pigments, but because of its toxicity these uses are being phased out wherever possible.
