Atomic Symbol Ta (+ Cool facts: Color, Uses and more...) 2022

Every Atom has a symbol to represent them. Some are easy to figure out... But what is the atom whose symbol is Ta?

The answer is Tantalum (Ta). But there's a lot of secret / fun facts about Tantalum that people don't know. Let me walk you through this atom...

Tantalum Overview

Atomic Symbol

Ta (Tantalum)

State at 20 °C

Solid

Uses

Often used as an economical substitute for platinum. Tantalum pentoxide is used in capacitors and in camera lenses to increase refracting power. It and its alloys are corrosion and wear resistant so it is used to make surgical and dental tools.

Sources

Chiefly occurs in the mineral tantalite. Always found with niobium.

Description

Rare, gray, heavy, hard but ductile, metal with a high melting point.

Name Origin

From king Tantalus of Greek mythology, father of Niobe.

Atomic Number

73
