  2. Tantalum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum

    Tantalum pentoxide (Ta 2 O 5) is the most important compound from the perspective of applications. Oxides of tantalum in lower oxidation states are numerous, including many defect structures , and are lightly studied or poorly characterized.

  3. Group 5 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_5_element

    Tantalum has four main types of applications. Tantalum is added into objects exposed to high temperatures, in electronic devices, in surgical implants, and for handling corrosive substances. [19] Dubnium has no applications due to the difficulty of its synthesis and the very short half-lives of even its longest-lived isotopes. [94]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractory_metals

    Tantalum is one of the most corrosion-resistant substances available. Many important uses have been found for tantalum owing to this property, particularly in the medical and surgical fields, and also in harsh acidic environments. It is also used to make superior electrolytic capacitors.

  5. Tantalum capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum_capacitor

    Tantalum electrolytic capacitors are extensively used in electronic devices that require stable capacitance, low leakage current, and where reliability is crucial. [1] Due to its reliability, durability and performance under extreme conditions, it is used in medical equipment, [2] aerospace and military applications. [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metals_in_medicine

    Metals in medicine are used in organic systems for diagnostic and treatment purposes. [1] Inorganic elements are also essential for organic life as cofactors in enzymes called metalloproteins . When metals are under or over-abundant in the body, equilibrium must be returned to its natural state via interventional and natural methods.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organotantalum_chemistry

    Tantalum alkylidene complexes arise by treating trialkyltantalum dichloride with alkyl lithium reagents. This reaction initially forms a thermally unstable tetraalkyl-monochloro-tantalum complex, which undergoes α-hydrogen elimination, followed by alkylation of the remaining chloride.

    Tantalum ores often contain significant amounts of niobium, which is itself a valuable metal.As such, both metals are extracted so that they may be sold. The overall process is one of hydrometallurgy and begins with a leaching step; in which the ore is treated with hydrofluoric acid and sulfuric acid to produce water-soluble hydrogen fluorides, such as the heptafluorotantalate.
