what is vanadium also called?
818174
The name vanadium comes from the word Vanadis, a goddess in Scandinavian mythology, because the element has beautiful multicolored chemical compounds. The symbol V was taken from the first letter of the origin of the word.\n\nBased on history of its discovery Vanadium had several names prior to this official name:\n>>Vanadium was originally discovered by Andrés Manuel del Río in Mexico City, in 1801. He called it "brown lead" (now named vanadinite). \n>>Its colors reminded him of chromium, so he named the element "panchromium."\n>> He later renamed this compound "erythronium", since most of the salts turned red when heated.\n>>  George William Featherstonhaugh, one of the first US geologists, suggested that the element should be named "rionium" after Del Rio, but this never happened.\n\nNone of those above names remained to be its name thus currently it is simply called vanadium.♥

Elements with this property are called noble gases or inert gases.\n\nHelium, argon, neon, kyrpton, xenon and radon.

Yes, you can add Rhodium, Irridium and Palladium among others.\n\nBasically it's those elements that have the outer electron d-shell filled completely. They therefore interact weakly with other elements.

I think the reactants that you've listed my be wrong or balanced correctly to give a possible vanadium oxide.  Please check out: http://www.webelements.com/webelements/elements/text/V/key.html\n\nThis site lists all 5 possible vanadium oxides (right side half way down the page)\n\nThe most is likely is vanadium (III) oxide (aka vanadium oxide or\ndivanadium trioxide) but to produce two moles the reaction would be:\n\n4V + 3O2 --> 2 V2O3

I think you mean at the atomic level, but still the answer is no.\n\nOne counter example would be positronium. This is when an electron and its anti particle, a positron, "revolve" around each other.  This is very unstable with a half-life of about 10^-7 seconds. \n\nThere are other exotic atoms of this type. Any atom formed by a particle and its anti particle is called an onia.

A few are:\nMg, Zn, Al, Fe, and Cu.  They will dissolve at different rates according to the activity series of the metals.

Osmium and Iridium are the two most dense elements in pure form. They are also very pretty metals, iridium particularly. Unlike osmium, iridium does not tarnish in air, and is in fact impervious to many forms of chemical attack, much like platinum. An alloy of 90% platinum and 10% iridium is widely used in both the jewelry and chemical industries, because it is strong, hard, beautiful, and impervious to almost all chemicals even at very high temperatures.\n\nWhich is the most dense element, osmium or iridium? That honor has changed hands a couple of times over the years.

In chemistry, a metal (Greek: Metallon) is an element that readily forms ions (cations) and has metallic bonds. Metals are sometimes described as a lattice of positive ions (cations) surrounded by a cloud of delocalized electrons. The metals are one of the three groups of elements as distinguished by their ionisation and bonding properties, along with the metalloids and nonmetals. On the periodic table, a diagonal line drawn from boron (B) to polonium (Po) separates the metals from the nonmetals. Elements on this line are metalloids, sometimes called semi-metals; elements to the lower left are metals; elements to the upper right are nonmetals.

Mercury\n\nA heavy, silvery, transition metal, mercury is one of five elements that are liquid at or near standard room temperature (the others are the metals caesium, francium, and gallium, and the nonmetal bromine)

Huge order. Let's see how far it can be served.\n\n1. Monoatomic negative ions: take the element name (sometimes shortened) and add "-ide" (as in hydride, nitride, oxide, sulphide, phosphide, chloride...)\nPositive ions: element-name, charge (if several charges are possible), ion (sodium ion, iron II ion...)\n\n2. Polyatomic ions:\nComplexes with various ligands list the ligands and the central ion/atom.\nOxygen as ligands has its own nomenclature, depending on oxidation state. E.g. Sulphate, sulphite, perchlorate, chlorate, chlorite, hypochlorite...\n\n3. Binary molecular compounds: Halogen, oxygen and sulphur compounds usually have the correspondent "-ide" as if you had ionic compounds. Usually the more electropositive element is used as center.\n\n4. Acids: Oxygen acids have a similar nomenclature to oxygen ions.

Metal having iron in small amounts is known as a ferrous metal. It can be an imourity as well. And those which dont are non ferrous metals

Yes, then it is a called a cation.  The element still contains its protons and therefore gives the ion a positive charge.  \n\nHowever, the electron configuration of the element determines what ions you can make as the stability will drastically fall with the more electrons removed

Molybdenum is a silvery-white, hard, transition metal. Scheele discovered it in 1778. It was often confused with graphite and lead ore. Molybdenum is used in alloys, electrodes and catalysts. The World War 2 German artillery piece called "Big Bertha" contains molybdenum as an essential component of its steel.
