2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Naturally occurring minor elements include Cadmium.

Cadmium is released into atmosphere to control volcanic eruption and forest fires.

It is used for electroplating of Steel for corrosion resistance.

It can absorb neutrons and used in nuclear reactor to control atomic fission.

Yttrium Metal is highly toxic.
Yttrium Metal is highly reactive in nature hence not found free in nature.

3 Uses

3.1 Uses & Benefits

It has very limited uses as it is a toxic metal and it can cause birth defects, cancer, etc.
Almost 80% of Cadmium metal is used in Nickel cadmium Batteries and now it is getting replaced with nickel hydride.

Yttrium metal is used in different alloys, as it increases the strength of aluminum Magnesium alloy. It is used for radar microwave filter.
It is also used as a catalyst in ethene polymerisation.
