Any element reacts with different elements to create a stable octet. (8 valence electrons). Niobium has 2 valence electrons, so it will react best with an element with 6 valence electrons, such as oxygen or sulfur. Basically, the elements with 6 valence electrons belong to group #16. Most elements strive to have a stable octet. Few can have a stable duet (hydrogen, helium).
-- hope this helped :3
They are niobium-titanium or niobium-tin intermetallic compounds.
No, Nb, atom no. 41, is in group 5 (period 5) of the transition metals (4d-trans.).Alkali metals are in group 1, like Na and K.
Niobium has 5 electrons in its outer shell. It belongs to group 5 in the periodic table, which means it has 5 valence electrons.
The family of elements that react readily with metals is the halogens. This group includes elements such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Halogens are highly reactive nonmetals that readily form compounds with metals by gaining an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
This compound is the niobium trihydroxide.
The element Niobium is in Group 5 along with Vanadium, Tantalum, and Dubnium. It is actually very difficult to distinguish from Tantalum.

The boron family includes elements such as boron and aluminum that react with oxygen to form oxides. They also react with acids to release hydrogen gas. Additionally, some members of the boron family can react with water to form hydroxides.
Zirconium (Zr)
Vanadium, niobium and tantalum are transition metals.
Beryllium react with the members of halogens family (group 17) and chalcogens (group 16).
One example of an element that belongs to both group 5B (Group 15) and period 5 of the periodic table is antimony (Sb). Antimony has 5 valence electrons, placing it in group 5B, and it is in period 5, indicating the energy level of its electron shells.
Vanadium, niobium , tantalum
Niobium is a moderately reactive metal. It does not react with oxygen at room temperature but can form an oxide layer when heated. It is also resistant to most acids but can react with strong oxidizing agents.
The three main isotopes of niobium are niobium-93, niobium-95, and niobium-96. These isotopes are stable and occur naturally in different abundances. Niobium-93 is the most abundant isotope, followed by niobium-95 and niobium-96.
They are niobium-titanium or niobium-tin intermetallic compounds.
Vanadium, Niobium, Tantalum and probably Dubnium.
