Vanadium Wire

Vanadium is a silvery-white ductile solid, insoluble in water. It is resistant to corrosion but soluble in nitric, hydrofluoric, and concentrated sulfuric acids. If it is confronted by alkali, it will be forming water-soluble vanadates. It acts as either a metal or nonmetal and develops a variety of complex compounds. It is nontoxic as metal.
