| Found in | Wikipedia, Oct. 12, 2012 (Vanadium is a chemical element with the symbol V and atomic number 23. It is a hard, silvery gray, ductile and malleable transition metal. Andrés Manuel del Río discovered compounds of vanadium in 1801 by analyzing a new lead-bearing mineral he called "brown lead," and presumed its qualities were due to the presence of a new element, which he named erythronium) Chemicool website, Oct. 12, 2012 (Vanadium was discovered in 1801 by the Spanish scientist Andres Manuel del Rio. He named his new element panchromo or panchromium meaning "all of the colors" because of the wide range of colors he had found when investigating the element's salts. He then renamed the element eritrono or erythronium, from the Greek word eruthros, meaning red.) |
