He sent samples of a vanadium ore and a letter describing his methods to the Institute de France in Paris, France, for analysis and confirmation. Unfortunately, his letter was lost in a shipwreck and the Institute only received his samples, which contained a brief note describing little about this new element, which Rio had named erythronium, that resembled chromium.  Vanadium was rediscovered by Nils Gabriel Sefstrôm, a Swedish chemist, in 1830 while analyzing samples of iron from a mine in Sweden. Vanadium was also named by Nils Gabriel Sefstrôm.

It is very easy to change in form, put in a different shapes while hammering with breaking or cracking and it is resistant to corrosion. Also, vanadium is a inactive element and will not react with water or oxygen at room temperature. Many vanadium compounds are considered toxic and should be handled with care. (See Safety of Vanadium)
Vanadium is harder than most steels ]]> 2018-10-18 05:06:30 UTC https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/294186878 Where is Vanadium found on Earth? yankeeleung1_1 https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/294187173 Vanadium is found in a wide variety of minerals in the Earth's crust. It is not a free form of nature. Some minerals containing vanadium include vanadinite, carnotite, and magnetite. The majority of vanadium production comes from magnetite. Around 98% of vanadium ore mined are mined in China, Russia and South Africa. ]]> 2018-10-18 05:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/294187173 How did Vanadium get its name? yankeeleung1_1 https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/294187714 Vanadium is named after the Scandinavian goddess of beauty "Vanadis". It was Nils Gabriel Sefstrôm who named the element. He was also the person who reactivated the element. ]]> 2018-10-18 05:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/294187714 Lewis Diagram: Vanadium yankeeleung1_1 https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/295738759 2018-10-23 00:34:04 UTC https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/295738759 Safety of Vanadium yankeeleung1_1 https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/295739268 All vanadium compounds should be considered toxic. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set an maximum limit of 0.05 mg/m3 for vanadium pentoxide dust and 0.1 mg/m3 for vanadium pentoxide fumes in workplace air for an 8-hour workday, 40-hour work week. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has recommended that 35 mg/m3 of vanadium be considered immediately dangerous to life and health, and is likely to cause permanent health problems or even death. ]]> 2018-10-23 00:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/295739268 Bohr Diagram: Vanadium yankeeleung1_1 https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/295740107 2018-10-23 00:40:15 UTC https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/295740107 Problem solved by Vanadium yankeeleung1_1 https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/295742348 Originally mined to be used to help create a strong steel alloy, vanadium has the potential to be used for batteries– the kind to store energy from the sun. Batteries made with vanadium can be used to store up large amounts of energy which can then be released at times when most needed. These batteries can be recharged about 20,000 times. Their competition, currently, includes lithium batteries, which can only handle between 1,000 and 2,000 recharges before dying out. Also, lithium batteries aren’t able to store, for example, a whole community’s energy needs for several hours, while vanadium batteries can. 
This is solving home problems in Hawaii when they are gaining too much sunshine then their electric grid can hold. Because of this, the cost of electricity in Hawaii is 3 times more expensive then in the inner US. ]]> 2018-10-23 00:50:40 UTC https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/295742348 Periodic Table Neighborhood yankeeleung1_1 https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/296256653 Vanadium’s discovery in 1801 was isolated because it was thought to be another form of chromium, which sits on vanadium’s right in the periodic table. In 1801, the concept of the periodic table had not been born, so it was later re-discovered and named by Nils Gabriel Sefström. ]]> 2018-10-24 02:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/296256653 Cures Using Vanadium yankeeleung1_1 https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/296257714 Although studies has shown that Vanadium is not safe if we use the element properly, there are diseases that uses Vanadium for cure.
Diabetes: 
Preliminary research suggests that vanadate (a vanadium compound) may help improve the body's metabolism of blood sugar (also known as "glucose"). Additionally, some preliminary studies show that vanadate and other vanadium compounds may promote the movement of glucose into cells (where glucose is broken down and used for energy).
This is currently the treatment that can ensure you cure ]]> 2018-10-24 02:08:28 UTC https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/296257714 Side Effects of Vanadium yankeeleung1_1 https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/296258351 Vanadium is likely safe if used in adults, if less than 1.8 mg per day is taken. At higher doses, such as those used to treat diabetes, vanadium frequently causes unwanted side effects including abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, nausea, and gas. It can also cause a greenish tongue, loss of energy, and problems with the nervous system.
Vanadium is unsafe when used in large amounts and for a long time. This increases the risk of serious side effects including kidney damage.
Vanadium will lower blood sugar. People with diabetes should check their blood sugar carefully and watch for signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Vanadium is likely safe when used for in children when taken in amounts found in foods. Don't give children supplements. Not enough is known about the safety of these larger doses in children.]]> 2018-10-24 02:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/296258351 Global Factor yankeeleung1_1 https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/296259084 Titanium-aluminum-vanadium alloy is used in jet engines and for high-speed aircraft. Vanadium foil is used in cladding titanium to steel. Vanadium-gallium tape is used in superconducting magnets. Vanadium pentoxide is used in ceramics and as a catalyst for the production of sulfuric acid.
Vanadium can store lots of energy, more than lithium can hold. It is now widely used in Hawaii because of too much energy the lithium battery can hold. ]]> 2018-10-24 02:16:22 UTC https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/296259084 Comments by Hiko hiko_chen https://padlet.com/yankeeleung1_1/dumygofjaw08/wish/298823423 Very specific.
