Rhenium uses are:
- in thermocouples for high temperatures: W/W-Rh 26 %
- catalyst
- expensive superalloys
- X-ray source
- filaments in mass spectrometry (the sample is placed here)
Important uses are in heater coils, electrical contacts, thermocouples, and catalysts. Also rhenium is used in many alloys. The name origin is from the Greek work rhenus which means Rhine and rhenium was discovered in a Rhine area of Germany. Hope this helps
No. Rhenium is a metal.
Rhenium has 7 isotopes. The most stable and abundant isotopes are rhenium-185 and rhenium-187.
In the periodic table, rhenium is number 75.
Rhenium is commonly used in high-temperature superalloys for aerospace applications, as a catalyst in the production of gasoline, and in the manufacturing of electrical contacts and filaments due to its high melting point and resistance to corrosion.
Rhenium is a chemical element, metal, rare, very expensive.
The chemical symbol for rhenium is Re.
Rhenium can combine with several elements, including sulfur, oxygen, and halogens such as chlorine and fluorine. It forms compounds like rhenium disulfide (ReS₂) and rhenium oxide (ReO₃). Additionally, rhenium can also form alloys and complexes with metals such as platinum and gold.
The atomic mass of Rhenium (Re) is approximately 186.21 grams per mole.
Rhenium is both man made and found naturally. Natural rhenium deposits are found in Arizona and Utah.
Rhenium was not invented. It is a naturally occurring element throughout the universe.
Examples: californium, americium, curium, iridium, rhenium, osmium, palladium, francium, astatine, technetium.
