Vanadium(V) shares properties with its source material. Vanadium is a chemical element with symbol V and atomic number 23. It is a hard, silvery-grey, ductile, malleable transition metal. The elemental metal is rarely found in nature, but once isolated artificially, the formation of an oxide layer (passivation) somewhat stabilizes the free metal against further oxidation Vanadium is electrically conductive and thermally insulating, and itâ??s harder than most metals and steel. It has good resistance to erosion and it is stable against alkalis and sulfuric and hydrochloric acids. It is oxidized in air at about 933 K(660 °C, 1220 °F), although an oxide passivation layer forms even at room temperature. contact us for info
