Tantalum pentoxide is not considered toxic under normal conditions of use. However, like any fine particulate material, inhaling large amounts of tantalum pentoxide dust may cause respiratory irritation. Proper handling and storage procedures should be followed to minimize exposure risks.
Tantalum (V) Oxide
The correct name for N2O5 is dinitrogen pentoxide.
Tantalum is a metal and does not have a particular natural odor.
Tantalum was discovered in 1802 by Anders Ekeberg.

M. Seah has written: 'Tantalum pentoxide on tantalum foil'
As a metallurgist familiar with both tantalum and her sister metal niobium (they are usually found together), I can say that tantalum is the foundation of modern electrolytic capacitors (excluding the huge aluminum capacitors for power applications). It's unlikely that you'd be reading this now if tantalum didn't exist. Physical characteristics? It's kind of green. It's heavy (16.6 g/cc) . It's a getter, meaning it sucks up oxygen like a sponge. (This is why it makes good capacitors; tantalum pentoxide is a very good dielectric film -- but only if you know how to grow a smooth one.) A wonderful metal in some respects, diabolical in others.
