2022: Atomic Symbol for Selenium (& Cool facts: Sources, Color, Uses and more...)

Some atom symbols are easy to figure out, some are not...

The only sure thing is that every atom has a symbol. But what is the atom whose symbol is Se?

The answer is Selenium (Se). However there is a lot of stuff about Selenium that people don't know. Let me walk you through...

Selenium Overview

Atomic Symbol

Se (Selenium)

Sources

Obtained from lead, copper and nickel refining. Conducts electricity when struck by light.

Description

Soft metalloid similar to sulfur. Ranges from gray metallic to red glassy appearance.

Name Origin

Greek: selênê (moon).

State at 20 °C

Solid

Uses

Light causes it to conduct electricity more easily. It is used in photoelectric cells, TV cameras, xerography machines and as a semiconductor in solar batteries and rectifiers. Also colors glass red.

Discovery

Discovered By: Jöns Berzelius
Year: 1818
Location: Sweden
