__ The NUMBER OF NEUTRONS in cadmium are 64 NUMBER OF ELECTRONS:48 The MELTING POINT for Cadmium is : 321.07 DEGREES CELCIUS The BOILING POINT for Cadmium is :767 DEGREES CELCIUS CADMIUMS NORMAL PHASE is : SOLID Most of The COST FOR CADMIUM IS ABOUT $12 PER POUND Cadmium's CLASSIFICATION is: SOLID CADMIUM BELONGS IN THE TRANSITION METAL FAMILY CADMIUM'S ORIGIN OF NAME: LATIN,Greek, and angent. CADMIUM WAS DISCOVERED BY A GERMAN Scienetest FREDRICH STROMEYER IN 1817 __  INTRESTING FACTS 1.CADMIUM IS USED IN losts of things and one of the is BATTERIES 2. THE COLOR OF CADMIUM IS SORDA A BLUSH-WHITE 3. CADMIUM'S STRUCTER IS HEXAGONAL 4. CADMIUM IS POISUNUS 5. CADMIUM WAS OBTAINED FROM ZINC REFINING 6. All of PURE CADMIUM IS SOFT 7.Some CIGARETTES CONTAIN CADMIUM 8. Cadmium can enter your body by eating certain kinds of foods. 9. Cadmium is in soil, water, and air. 10. Cadmium is PROVEN TO BE in small quanities in air. 11.Small parts of cadmium are found in zinc. 12.Losts of things use cadmium and here are some of those things.They are Pigments and televisions. 13.Hydrated cadmium sulfate (3CdSO4·5H2O), one of cadmium's compounds, is used in a device called a Weston cell, a type of battery that produces a precise voltage used to calibrate medical and laboratory equipment 14. The Element Cadmium is defined as... A soft, bluish-white metallic element occurring primarily in zinc, copper, and lead ores, that is easily cut with a knife and is used in low-friction, fatigue-resistant alloys, solders, dental amalgams, nickel-cadmium storage batteries, nuclear reactor shields, and in rustproof electroplating. 15.Longterm exposure to cadmium can cause damge to kidney or a bone. 16. Cadmium was discovered in Germany, also Germany was also the only country to sell cadmium for 100 years but a large percent of cadmium metal produce takes place in the country Asia. 17. Nickle Cadmium is in batteries. 18.Like zinc, cadmium can be electroplated to other materials to protect them from corrosion. 19. The density of cadmium is 8.65 g/cm3 20. The group number is 5, the perion number is twelve. 21. The Covalent radius is 148. 22. The Ionic Radius is 97. 23. Cadmium fusion heat is 6.11. 24. Cadmium's lattice constant 2.980. Bibliography .
