Cadmium ( ) is a chemical element with the symbol Cd and atomic number 48.

Cadmium occurs as a minor component in most zinc ores and therefore is a byproduct of zinc production.

Cadmium is a soft, malleable, ductile, bluish-white divalent metal.

Cadmium burns in air to form brown amorphous cadmium oxide ( CdO ); the crystalline form of this compound is a dark red which changes color when heated, similar to zinc oxide.

Cadmium is created via the long s-process in low-medium mass stars with masses of 0. 6 to 10 solar masses, which lasts thousands of years.

Cadmium levels are high in Finnish elk liver and kidneys, with the result that consumption of these organs from elk more than one year old is prohibited in Finland.

Cadmium yellow is cadmium sulfide ( CdS ); by adding increasing amounts of selenium, colors ranging from orange to nearly black ( the color of cadmium selenide ) can be produced.

Cadmium yellow is sometimes mixed with viridian to give a bright, pale green mixture called cadmium green.

Cadmium ’ s discovery is also loosely attributed to K. S. L.

Cadmium is an extremely toxic metal commonly found in industrial workplaces.

Cadmium is used extensively in electroplating, although the nature of the operation does not generally lead to overexposures.

Cadmium is also found in some industrial paints and may represent a hazard when sprayed.

Cadmium is also present in the manufacturing of some types of batteries.

The existing lighthouse is managed via the PSTN, and powered by Nickel Cadmium batteries, " charged on a time cycle of three times per week by one of two ( 12. 5 KVA ) markon alternators with TS3 Lister diesel engines.

Cadmium and Gold are used for plating surfaces which gives them good corrosion resistance and sliding properties, Lead, Tin, Zinc alloys and various Bronze alloys are used as sliding bearings, or their powder can be used to lubricate sliding surfaces alone, or as additives to greases.

Cadmium, being a heavy metal, can cause substantial pollution when landfilled or incinerated.

Some " thin-film " solar cells have waste disposal issues when they are made with heavy metals such as Cadmium telluride ( CdTe ) and Copper indium gallium selenide ( CuInGaSe ), and need to be recycled, as opposed to silicon solar cells which are mostly non-metallic.

Cadmium and its congeners are not always considered transition metals, in that they do not have partly filled d or f electron shells in the elemental or common oxidation states.

Cadmium and its congeners are not always considered transition metals, in that they do not have partly filled d or f electron shells in the elemental or common oxidation states.

Cadmium ( Latin cadmia, Greek καδμεία meaning " calamine ", a cadmium-bearing mixture of minerals, which was named after the Greek mythological character, Κάδμος Cadmus, the founder of Thebes ) was discovered simultaneously in 1817 by Friedrich Stromeyer and Karl Samuel Leberecht Hermann, both in Germany, as an impurity in zinc carbonate.

Godzilla has an allergic reaction to the Cadmium shells that are fired into his mouth by the Super X, and falls down unconscious.

Cadmium intake has been found to be elevated amongst all consumers of elk meat, though the elk meat was found to contribute only slightly to the daily cadmium intake.

It is possible, although highly doubtful, that he killed none at all but merely let his reputation work for him by privately claiming every unsolved murder in the state.

Only one rule prevailed in my conversations with these men: The more highly placed they are -- that is, the more they know -- the more concerned they have become.

All such imitations of negative quality have given rise to a compensatory response in the form of a heroic and highly individualistic humanism: if man can neither know nor love reality as it is, he can at least invent an artistic `` reality '' which is its own world and which can speak to man of purely personal and subjective qualities capable of being known and worthy of being loved.

Fing, a lean, chiseled, impeccable gentleman of the old school who was once mistaken on the street for Sir Cedric Hardwicke, is responsible for the rediscovery of Verdi's earliest, most raucous opera, Nabisco, a sumptuous bout-de-souffle with a haunting leitmotiv that struck me as being highly reminiscent of the Mudugno version of `` Volare ''.

As is well known, detergent actives belong to the chemical class consisting of moderately high molecular weight and highly polar molecules which exhibit the property of forming micelles in solution.

This is particularly true of highly charged ions, especially those ions which fall into the class of polyelectrolytes.
