Cadmium

Description:
Cadmium is a chemical element with the symbol Cd and atomic number 48. It is a soft, bluish-white metal that is part of group 12 in the periodic table. Cadmium is known for its malleability and ductility, making it easy to shape and form. It has a relatively low melting point compared to other metals and exhibits good corrosion resistance, which is why it is often used in coatings and electroplating. Cadmium compounds, particularly cadmium sulfide, are used in pigments and as semiconductors. However, cadmium is toxic and poses significant health risks, including kidney damage and cancer, leading to strict regulations on its use and disposal. It is primarily obtained as a byproduct of zinc refining and is found in trace amounts in the Earth's crust. Due to its hazardous nature, safety precautions are essential when handling cadmium and its compounds in industrial and laboratory settings.
