  2. Group 5 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_5_element

    Niobium is a lustrous, grey, ductile, paramagnetic metal in group 5 of the periodic table (see table), with an electron configuration in the outermost shells atypical for group 5. Similarly atypical configurations occur in the neighborhood of ruthenium (44) and rhodium (45).

  3. Tantalum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum

    Tantalite has the same mineral structure as columbite (Fe, Mn) (Ta, Nb) 2 O 6; when there is more tantalum than niobium it is called tantalite and when there is more niobium than tantalum is it called columbite (or niobite). The high density of tantalite and other tantalum containing minerals makes the use of gravitational separation the best ...

  4. Niobium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niobium

    The claimed new elements pelopium, ilmenium, and dianium [19] were in fact identical to niobium or mixtures of niobium and tantalum. [20] The differences between tantalum and niobium were unequivocally demonstrated in 1864 by Christian Wilhelm Blomstrand [20] and Henri Étienne Sainte-Claire Deville, as well as Louis J. Troost, who determined ...

  5. Refractory metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractory_metals

    The physical properties of the refractory elements vary significantly because they are members of different groups of the periodic table. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] The hardness, high melting and boiling points, and high enthalpies of atomization of these metals arise from the partial occupation of the outer d subshell , allowing the d electrons to ...

  6. List of chemical elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_elements

    Like the periodic table, the list below organizes the elements by the number of protons in their atoms; it can also be organized by other properties, such as atomic weight, density, and electronegativity. For more detailed information about the origins of element names, see List of chemical element name etymologies.

  7. Period 2 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_2_element

    A period 2 element is one of the chemical elements in the second row (or period) of the periodic table of the chemical elements.The periodic table is laid out in rows to illustrate recurring (periodic) trends in the chemical behavior of the elements as their atomic number increases; a new row is started when chemical behavior begins to repeat, creating columns of elements with similar properties.

  8. Discovery of chemical elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_of_chemical_elements

    In 1809, W. H. Wollaston claimed that columbium and tantalum are identical, which proved to be false. [85] Heinrich Rose proved in 1844 that the element is distinct from tantalum, and renamed it niobium. American scientists generally used the name columbium, while European ones used niobium. Niobium was officially accepted by IUPAC in 1949 ...
