(Piano music)Vanadium, element number 23,the third of the so-called "transition metals,"so it lies between titanium and chromiumin the Periodic Table.I don't know a huge amount about the chemistryof vanadium. I've never actually seen vanadium metal,so let's have a look at it.It's in a really quite historic box.It's wire; it's not easy to open.And you can see there's a coilof fairly black-ish coloured wire.There are several things that interest me:first of all that you can make wire as thin as that,and secondly, that it doesn't look very shiny,possibly it's got an oxide layer on the surface.I've been given another sample: of vanadium powder,but vanadium powder can catch...
