2022: ☢️ Density of Cadmium (Cd) [& g/cm3, kg/m3, Uses, Sources ...

Everything has mass and volume, and therefore density. So it is expected that the smallest piece of matter, like an atom of Cadmium has it too. But what is the density of an atom of Cd?

Note: Learn more about the density here.

In the case of Cadmium , density is 8.65 g/cm³. However, there are interesting facts about Cadmium that most don't know about. Also check the kg/m³ conversion...

Cadmium Data

Cadmium Density g/cm³

8.65 g/cm³

kg/m³

8650 kg/m³

State at 20 °C

Solid

Uses

Used in nickel-cadmium batteries. Also in electroplating steel and in the manufacture of berings. Its compounds are found in paint pigments and a wide variety of intense colors. Boiling cadmium gives off a weird, yellow-colored vapor that is poisonous.

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Density of Cadmium (Cd) [& g/cm3, kg/m3, Uses, Sources ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
