Cadmium is a soft, bluish-white metal and is easily cut with a knife. It is similar in many respects to zinc. Interestingly, AA characteristic cadmium "scream" is heard on bending a cadmium bar (such as that illustrated above). Cadmium and its compounds are highly toxic. Silver solder, which contains cadmium, should be handled with care. * Name: Cadmium * Symbol: Cd * Atomic number: 48 * Atomic weight: 112.411 (8) [see note g] * Standard state: solid at 298 K * CAS Registry ID: 7440-43-9 * Group in periodic table: 12 * Group name: (none) * Period in periodic table: 5 * Block in periodic table: d-block * Colour: silvery grey metallic * Classification: Metallic
cadmium diiodide or cadmium (II) iodide --------- Right Answer: Cadmium iodide
In a cadmium atom, all 27 s orbitals are filled with electrons. Cadmium has 48 electrons, and the s sublevel can hold a total of 2 electrons per orbital, so 27 orbitals are needed to accommodate all the electrons.
