 Copper Vanadium Oxide

Copper is a Block D, Group 11, Period 4 element with an atomic weight of 63.546. The number of electrons in each of copper’s shells is 2, 8, 18, 1 and its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s¹. The copper atom has a radius of 128 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 186 pm.

Copper was first discovered by Early Man prior to 9000 BC. In its elemental form, copper has a red-orange metallic luster appearance. Of all pure metals, only silver has a higher electrical conductivity.The origin of the word copper comes from the Latin word ‘cuprium’ which translates as “metal of Cyprus.” Cyprus, a Mediterranean island, was known as an ancient source of mined copper.

Vanadium:

Vanadium is a Block D, Group 5, Period 4 element with an atomic weight of 50.9415. The number of electrons in each of Vanadium’s shells is 2, 8, 11, 2 and its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d³ 4s². The vanadium atom has a radius of 134 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 179 pm.

Vanadium was discovered by Andres Manuel del Rio in 1801 and first isolated by Nils Gabriel Sefström in 1830. In its elemental form, vanadium has a bluish-silver appearance. It is a hard, ductile transition metal that is primarily used as a steel additive and in alloys such as Titanium-6AL-4V, which is composed of titanium, aluminum, and vanadium and is the most common titanium alloy commercially produced. Vanadium is found in fossil fuel deposits and 65 different minerals.

Vanadium is not found free in nature; however, once isolated it forms an oxide layer that stabilizes the free metal against further oxidation. Vanadium was named after the word “Vanadis” meaning goddess of beauty in Scandinavian mythology.
