FAMILY Group 5 (VB) Transition metal PRONUNCIATION TAN-tuh-lum Discovery and naming In 1801, English chemist Charles Hatchett (1765-1847) discovered a new element that he named niobium. A year later, Ekeberg discovered a new element that he named tantalum. The two names are relate...
The grouping of these metals in the Earth's crust has allowed them to be distributed in three main deposits: Carbonatites and associated rocks (Nb), alkaline to granites and peralkaline syenites (Ta, Nb, and REE), granites and pegmatites of the lithium, cesium, and tantalum family forming ...
Tantalum (pronounced as TAN-te-lem) belongs to the family of transition metals and denoted by the chemical symbol Ta. It has thirty-one isotopes out of which tantalum-181 is the most stable one. It is further processed to produce sheets, capillary tubes, wires, rods, foils, plates, bars...
