2022: ☢️ Density of Tantalum (Ta) [& 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 Tantalum has it too. But what is the density of an atom of Ta?

Note: Learn more about the density here.

In the case of Tantalum , density is 16.6 g/cm³. However, there are interesting facts about Tantalum that most don't know about. Also check the kg/m³ conversion...

Tantalum Data

Tantalum Density g/cm³

16.6 g/cm³

kg/m³

16600 kg/m³

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.

Atomic Mass

180,9479

Sources

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

Atomic Number

73

Atomic Symbol

Ta

Name Origin

From king Tantalus of Greek mythology, father of Niobe.

Discovery

Discovered By: Anders Ekeberg
Year: 1802
Location: Sweden

Description

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

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 Tantalum (Ta) [& 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.
