As anyone would guess, every atom has mass, an important physical property, even Cadmium. But how do we know how much does a Cd atom weight?
First of all, if we know the atom symbol, let's say Cd, we can open any periodic table and search for Cadmium.
In the case of Cadmium the answer is 112,411. However there is a lot of funny facts about Cadmium that most people don't know. Shall we have a look?
