Niobium
| My Nucleus has 41 protons. I have only one stable isotope: Niobium-93, which has 41 protons plus 52 neutrons. I have 8 radioisotopes, with half-lives ranging from 1 hour to 37 million years. My average atomic mass is: 92.91 grams/mole. | When neutral, I have 41 electrons. Here is my Electron Configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s1 4d4 or: [Kr].4d4.5s1  My Shell Structure is: 2.8.18.12.1 | My Properties: color: gray [density, conductivity, malleability, state at room temperature...] |
| My Home (Body, Planet, Universe) There's no data on my presence in the human body, so there's probably very little there. I am 4 ppb by mass of the Earth's crust, and 2 ppb by mass of the Universe. | I am Niobium! | My Compounds (My Friends!) Niobium (III) Fluoride  Niobium (IV) Chloride  Niobium (II) Oxide  |
My Story [When and how I was discovered, and by whom] [The history of my uses] | My Jobs I am used in some stainless steel alloys, arc-welding rods, and in making super-conductive magnets. I also have uses in the nuclear industries, the space program, and in body art (due to my blue-ish color!). |
