Vanadium

Vanadium

• The symbol for vanadium is (V)• The atomic number is 23• The atomic mass is 50.9• Vanadium was discovered by Andreas.M. del

Rio in 1801, by Henry E. Roscoe in 1867, by reducing vanadium chloride (VCl3) with hydrogen. Vanadium was named after Vanadis, the mythical Scandinavian goddess of beauty and love.

Vanadium

• Vanadium was originally discovered by Andrés Manuel del Río, a Spanish-born Mexican mineralogist, in 1801. Del Río extracted the element from a sample of Mexican "brown lead" ore, later named vanadinite. He found that its salts exhibit a wide variety of colors, and as a result he named and made the symbol V .

Vanadium

• The incorporation of vanadium into steels accounts for about 90 percent of U.S

• It is a soft, silvery gray, ductile transition metal, in its natural form.

Vanadium

• Vanadium can be found in by products of mining. It is also a trace element in many different types of rocks. There is also a small amount of vanadium found in the human body. It can also be found in aluminum ore and deposits rich in carbon
