Rhenium single crystal 75Re186.2
Discovered in 1925 by W. Noddack, Ida Tacke and O. Berg at Berlin, Germany.
[Latin: rhenus = rhine] French: rheniumGerman: rhenium
Italian: renio
Spanish: renio
Description: Rhenium is a silvery metal, but is usually obtained as a grey powder. It resists corrosion but slowly tarnishes in moist air. Rhenium dissolves in HNO3 an H2SO4. It is used in filaments, thermistors and catalysts.
