  • If I was an element I'd be Vanadium and my symbol is V
  • My atomic number is 23 which means I have 23 protons in my nucleus and 23 electrons around my nucleus.
  • My melting point is 1,910 °C
  • My boiling point is 3,407 °C
  • At room temperature (20*c) I will be a solid.
  • I was first discovered by Andrés Manuel del Río, New Spain (Mexico), 1801.
  • I am found in nature as Magnetite.
  • My uses to humans are manufacturing, tools and other moving parts that generate a lot of heat.
  • Some interesting things about me are:
- "vanadium" was named after the Scandinavian goddess of beauty and fertility, Vanadís (Freyja).

-It has very colourful oxidation states including purple (+2), green (+3), blue (+4), and yellow (+5).

- One of the first uses of vanadium was in the steel chassis of the 1908 Model T Ford

    Hey Julianna! I really liked the way you put one of the first uses of the element you are researching about. Since we're from the same class I had to do this as well and I like how different yours turned out. I think it would be nice if you put a picture of the car to give more information to what it looks like.
