It is also used in many types of solder, for standard E.M.F. cells, for Ni-Cd batteries, and as a barrier to control nuclear fission. Cadmium compounds are used in black and white television phosphors and in blue and green phosphors for color TV tubes. It forms a number of salts, of which the sulfate is most common; the sulfide is used as a yellow pigment. Cadmium and solutions of its compounds are toxic.Melting point is 321.069°C, 609.924°F, 594.219 K bonifer_ellis_syndel https://padlet.com/bonifer_ellis_syndel/5nkdww1cae0x/wish/142024124 2016-12-06 14:46:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bonifer_ellis_syndel/5nkdww1cae0x/wish/142024124 Electron Configuration is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s2 4d10 or [Kr] 4d105s2The Isotopes is 100Chemical properties are that cadmium reacts slowly with oxygen in moist air at room temperatures, forming cadmium oxide: Cadmium does not react with water, though it reacts with most acids.Physical properties in Cadmium is a shiny metal with a bluish cast (shade) to it. It is very soft and can almost be scratched with a fingernail. Its melting point is 321°C (610°F) and its boiling point is 765°C(1,410°F). The density of cadmium is 8.65 grams per cubic centimeter.An interesting property of cadmium is its effect in alloys. In combination with certain metals, it lowers the melting point. Some common low-melting-point alloys are Lichtenberg's metal, Abel's metal, Lipowitz' metal, Newton's metal, and Wood's metal. bonifer_ellis_syndel https://padlet.com/bonifer_ellis_syndel/5nkdww1cae0x/wish/142024388 2016-12-06 14:46:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bonifer_ellis_syndel/5nkdww1cae0x/wish/142024388
