What is Cadmium: Properties and Melting Point about?

Cadmium is a soft, bluish-white metal that is chemically similar to zinc and mercury. It has a low melting point compared to other transition metals and prefers an oxidation state of +2 in its compounds. Cadmium occurs as a minor component in most zinc ores and is produced as a byproduct of zinc smelting. It has been used as a pigment and for corrosion resistant coatings, but its use is decreasing due to toxicity concerns and regulations.
