2022: Electron Affinity of Vanadium (V) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ...

In chemistry, the electron affinity of an atom of Vanadium is defined as the amount of energy released or spent when an electron is added to a neutral atom in the gaseous state to form a negative ion. But what is the electron affinity of an atom of V?

In the case of Vanadium the electron affinity is 50.6 kilojoules per mole.  There are a lot of cool facts about Vanadium that most people don't know. Check this...

Vanadium Facts

Vanadium Electron Affinity

50.6 kilojoules per mole

State at 20 °C

Solid

Discovery

Discovered By: Nils Sefström
Year: 1830
Location: Sweden

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.

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.

Description

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