Cadmium is a soft, bluish-white metal primarily extracted as a byproduct of zinc refining. The molecular formula is Cd with CAS No. 7440-43-9. It is characterized by high corrosion resistance and stable electrochemical properties.
Cadmium compounds are classified as carcinogens with strict occupational exposure limits. Storage requires sealed containers in dry, ventilated areas away from acids to prevent toxic fume generation.
