Yes it is. You can get a clue from the "-ium" ending, which means "metal," though this is not an infallible guide because helium is not a metal.
What makes a metal is promiscuous electrons, which give that metallic sheen and cause the microwave to spark.

What is cadmium sulfate used for?
These are the uses of Cadmium occurs as a minor component in most zinc ores and therefore is a byproduct of zinc production. Cadmium was used for a long time as a pigment and for corrosion resistant plating on steel. Cadmium compounds were used to stabilize plastic. With the exception of its use innickel-cadmium batteries and cadmium telluride solar panels, the use of cadmium is generally decreasing in its other applications. These declines have been due to competing technologies, cadmium's toxicity in certain forms and concentration and resulting regulations [4]. Although cadmium is toxic, one enzyme, a carbonic anhydrase with cadmium as reactive center has been discovered.
