Cd is Cadmium.
On the periodic table, "a" might be the first letter in the element aluminum or argon or arsenic. The letter "a" is not found alone in the periodic table but can be found in several elements that either begin with the letter or include the letter.
This chemical element is cadmium (Cd).
in order to make periodic table more useful and accurate a few improvements were made in MMendeleev's periodic table 1: the periodic table was improved by arranging the elements in ascending order of there atomic numbers instead of there atomic masses so there chemical properties repeat in a periodic manner. 2: the addition of an extra group (VlllA) contain,s noble gases at the extreme right of the periodic table 3:the elements like Be,Mg,Ca,Sr,Ba and Zn,Cd,Hg were placed in a sigle vertical group while according o there properties they belonged to two different categories but the same was true for other elements placed in same vertical group and this confusion was removed by dividing the elements in two types of vertical groups, A and B
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

These are Zinc(Zn), Cadmium(Cd) and Mercury(Hg)
This is Cadmium, atomic number 48 ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_chart
This chemical element is cadmium (Cd).
elements in group 2B of the periodic table with its atomic number 30 Zinc 48 Cadmium 80 Mercury 112 Ununbium (the discoverers of this have suggested the name copernicium) These elements are also known as transition elements and they belong to d-block.

When looked at the periodic table its u will see that each column has a # on the top of the periodic table...group 1 is the 1st column to the left & are the alkaline metals...the last column all the way to the right of periodic table are nobel gases..for example. Transition metals are all the elements in groups # 3-12. (In between where the metals & the non metals locations on the P.T). Hope that helps!
Group 3 - 12 are transition metals. A few elements are titanium (Ti), silver (Ag), mercury (Hg) and gold (Au).

The atomic number of cadmium (Cd) is 48. The atomic weight of Cd is 112.41 grams per mole.See the Web Links and the Related Questions to the left of this answer for a periodic table and more information about this element.Cadmium has a stable atomic mass number of 112 (48 protons, 64 neutrons). It has several stable isotopes: Cd 110, Cd 111, Cd 112.
Selinium (Se) and tellurium (Te) are both used in solar cells and are in the same group in the Periodic Table as sulfur. These two elements are commonly combined with cadmium (Cd) in solar cells (either CdSe, CdTe, or mixtures of Cd, Se and Te all together (usually written CdSexTe1-x).
