Elements 46-56 Flashcards

Elements 46-56 Overview

• Palladium (Pd): A precious metal used in electronics, jewelry, and catalytic converters.
• Silver (Ag): Known for its high conductivity and antibacterial properties; widely used in jewelry, photography, and electronics.
• Cadmium (Cd): A toxic metal primarily used in batteries and pigments; poses environmental hazards.
• Indium (In): Soft metal used in LCD screens and as a solder in electronics due to its low melting point.
• Tin (Sn): Utilized in coatings for steel cans and production of alloys, especially bronze; has a low melting point.
• Antimony (Sb): Used in flame retardants and as an alloying agent in lead, enhancing its hardness.
• Tellurium (Te): Important for its use in alloys and as a semiconductor; plays a role in solar panel technology.
• Iodine (I): Essential for thyroid function; used in medical disinfectants and as a contrast agent in imaging.
• Xenon (Xe): Rare gas used in high-intensity lamps and as a general anesthetic in surgical procedures.
• Caesium (Cs): Highly reactive alkali metal; used in atomic clocks and as a timekeeping standard.
• Barium (Ba): Used in medical imaging and as a component in drilling fluids; can be toxic in soluble forms.
