VANADIUM

V (23)

vəˈneɪdiəm

PHONETICS

Vanadium is harder than most metals and steels, has good resistance to corrosion and it is stable against alkalis, sulfuric and hydrochloric acids. Oxidized in the air at about 933 K (660 °C, 1220 °F), yet an oxide layer forms even at room temperature.

ELEMENT BRIEF

1801 by Andres Manuel del Rio, Mexico and Nils Sefström, Sweden.

DISCOVERY

Scandinavian, Vanadis, is the goddess of beauty in Scandinavian mythology + -ium.
