Cadmium
An element with atomic symbol Cd, atomic number 48, and atomic weight 112.41. It is a metal and ingestion will lead to CADMIUM POISONING.
Year introduced: /poisoning was used for indexing 1966-1976
Cadmium Chloride
A cadmium halide in the form of colorless crystals, soluble in water, methanol, and ethanol. It is used in photography, in dyeing, and calico printing, and as a solution to precipitate sulfides. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 5th ed)
Year introduced: 1997
Cadmium Compounds
Inorganic compounds that contain cadmium as an integral part of the molecule.
Cadmium Radioisotopes
Unstable isotopes of cadmium that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. Cd atoms with atomic weights 103-105, 107, 109, 115, and 117-119 are radioactive cadmium isotopes.
Year introduced: 1988
