CHEMICAL STRUCTURE AND DESCRIPTION:
Cadmium is a transition metal located in group 12 of the periodic table. It has a hexagonal close-packed (HCP) crystal structure. It is a silvery-white, soft, and ductile metal. It has a low melting point (321 °C) and boiling point (767 °C). Cadmium exhibits good corrosion resistance, particularly in marine environments. It is used as an anode in electrolytic plating processes, for enhancing corrosion resistance in metal surface coatings, in specialty alloys for aerospace and automotive industries, and in electronic components and battery production. Cadmium and its compounds are highly toxic and classified as carcinogens.
