Group Number Vanadium (V) (& Color, Uses ... 2022

All atoms have a group name assigned, even Vanadium. Ok but how do we know what is the group name for an atom of V?

If we know the symbol, let's say V, we may then open any periodic table and search for Vanadium. Any decent periodic table should have the group numbers when you scroll up starting from the element you found.

In the case of Vanadium the group number is 5. There is a lot of cool stuff about Vanadium that people simply don't know. Why not stick around for a bit?

Description

Soft, ductile, silvery-white metal. Resistant to corrosion by moisture, air and most acids and alkalis at room temperature.

State at 20 °C

Solid

Discovery

Discovered By: Nils Sefström
Year: 1830
Location: Sweden

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.

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.
