Atomic Mass V (& Secrets: Uses, Sources and more...) 2022

As anyone would guess, every atom has mass, an important physical property, even Vanadium. But how do we know how much does a V atom weight?

First of all, if we know the atom symbol, let's say V, we can open any periodic table and search for Vanadium.

In the case of Vanadium the answer is 50,9415. However there is a lot of funny facts about Vanadium that most people don't know. Shall we have a look?

Discovery

Discovered By: Nils Sefström

Year: 1830

Location: Sweden

Uses

It is mixed with other metals to make very strong and durable alloys. Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) is used as a catalyst, dye and color-fixer.

Sources

Found in the minerals patronite (VS4), vanadinite [Pb5(VO4)3Cl], and carnotite [K2(UO2)2(VO4)2.3H2O]. Pure metal produced by heating with C and Cl to produce VCl3 which is heated with Mg in Ar atmosphere.
