  2. Tantalum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum

    Tantalum is a chemical element; it has symbol Ta and atomic number 73. It is named after Tantalus , a figure in Greek mythology. [ 11 ] Tantalum is a very hard, ductile , lustrous , blue-gray transition metal that is highly corrosion-resistant.

  3. Tantalum pentoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum_pentoxide

    Tantalum pentoxide, also known as tantalum(V) oxide, is the inorganic compound with the formula Ta 2 O 5. It is a white solid that is insoluble in all solvents but is attacked by strong bases and hydrofluoric acid. Ta 2 O 5 is an inert material with a high refractive index and low absorption (i.e. colourless), which makes it useful for coatings ...

    Non-toxic; in humans, it often substitutes for calcium. [11] sulfur: 16: 5: Sulfur is essential and ubiquitous, partly because it is part of the amino acids cysteine and methionine. Many metals that appear as enzyme cofactors are bound by cysteine, and methionine is essential for protein synthesis. Toxic in some forms. tantalum: 73: 1c

    As with other metals with low atomic numbers, a variety of reduced halide cluster ions is known, the prime example being [Nb 6 Cl 18] 4−. [31] Tantalum halides span the oxidation states of +5, +4, and +3. Tantalum pentafluoride (TaF 5) is a white solid with a melting point of 97.0 °C. The anion [TaF 7] 2-is used for its separation from ...

    With the addition of squarate or perchlorate, the tantalum complex dimerises in acetonitrile, with their respective chelating ligands bridging the Ta centres. These seven-coordinate complexes of the form TaMe 3 L 2 , where L is a bidentate monoanion, are markedly more thermally stable than their precursor, decomposing in the range 80 - 120°C.

  8. Tantalum(V) chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum(V)_chloride

    Tantalum pentachloride can be prepared by reacting powdered metallic tantalum with chlorine gas at between 170 and 250 °C. This reaction can also be performed using HCl at 400 °C. [4] 2 Ta + 5 Cl 2 → 2 TaCl 5 2 Ta + 10 HCl → 2 TaCl 5 + 5 H 2. It can also be prepared by a reaction between tantalum pentoxide and thionyl chloride at 240 °C

  9. Isotopes of tantalum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_tantalum

    Natural tantalum (73 Ta) consists of two stable isotopes: 181 Ta (99.988%) and 180m Ta (0.012%). There are also 35 known artificial radioisotopes, the longest-lived of which are 179 Ta with a half-life of 1.82 years, 182 Ta with a half-life of 114.43 days, 183 Ta with a half-life of 5.1 days, and 177 Ta with a half-life of 56.56 hours.
