  2. Tantalum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum

    Tantalum is a chemical element; it has symbol Ta and atomic number 73. ... [15] [16] One year earlier, Charles Hatchett had discovered columbium (now niobium). [17]

  3. Refractory metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractory_metals

    Most definitions of the term 'refractory metals' list the extraordinarily high melting point as a key requirement for inclusion. By one definition, a melting point above 4,000 °F (2,200 °C) is necessary to qualify, which includes iridium, osmium, niobium, molybdenum, tantalum, tungsten, rhenium, rhodium, ruthenium and hafnium.

  4. List of elements by stability of isotopes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elements_by...

    One of the primordial nuclides is tantalum-180m, which is predicted to have a half-life in excess of 10 15 years, but has never been observed to decay. The even-longer half-life of 2.2 × 10 24 years of tellurium-128 was measured by a unique method of detecting its radiogenic daughter xenon-128 and is the longest known experimentally measured ...

  5. 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.

  6. Group 5 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_5_element

    There are 2 parts per million of tantalum in the Earth's crust, making it the 51st most abundant element there. Soil contains on average 1 to 2 parts per billion of tantalum, and seawater contains 2 parts per trillion of tantalum. A typical human contains 2.9 parts per billion of tantalum. Tantalum is found in the minerals tantalite and ...

  7. Period 6 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_6_element

    A period 6 element is one of the chemical elements in the sixth row (or period) of the periodic table of the chemical elements, including the lanthanides.The periodic table is laid out in rows to illustrate recurring (periodic) trends in the chemical behaviour of the elements as their atomic number increases: a new row is begun when chemical behaviour begins to repeat, meaning that elements ...

  8. Tantalum capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum_capacitor

    Commercially available tantalum capacitors now have reached as standard products the high MIL standard "C" level which is 0.01%/1000h at 85 °C and U R or 1 failure per 10 7 hours at 85 °C and U R. [15]

  9. Tantalum–tungsten alloys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum–tungsten_alloys

    The tantalum–tungsten alloys are characterized by their high melting point and the tension resistance. The properties of the final alloy are a combination of properties from the two elements: tungsten, the element with the highest melting point in the periodic table, and tantalum which has high corrosion resistance.
