  3. Uses for cadmium • poisonous • Nickel-cadmium batteries • Alloys with low melting points • Compounds are toxic • By-product for zinc refining • Not many coats a lot like zinc

  4. Cadmium facts • Date of discovery=1817 • Discoverer=Fredrich Stromeyer • Atomic number=48 • Atomic mass=112.41 • Sometimes causes birth defects and cancer

  5. Boiling point= 765°C Date of Discovery =1817 Causes cancer Discoverer= Fredrich Stromeyer poisonous cadmium Causes Birth defects Compounds Are toxic Atomic Number =48 Atomic Mass= 112.41 Nickel-cadmium batteries
