Niobium

What do we mean by niobium?

A silvery, soft, rare, ductile metallic element that occurs chiefly in columbite-tantalite and is used in steel alloys, arc welding, and superconductive materials. Atomic number 41; atomic weight 92.906; melting point 2,477°C; boiling point 4,744°C; specific gravity 8.57; valence 2, 3, 5. cross-reference: Periodic Table. noun

Chemical symbol, Nb; atomic weight, 94. A metal of steel-gray color and brilliant luster. noun

The chemical element of atomic number 41. Chemical symbol Nb. Atomic weight 92.91. Previously called columbium. See also columbium. noun

A metallic chemical element (symbol Nb) with an atomic number of 41. noun

A soft grey ductile metallic element used in alloys; occurs in niobite; formerly called columbium noun

A chemical element (symbol Nb) with an atomic number of 41: a light grey, crystalline, ductile transition metal used in superconducting materials.

A single atom of this element.

The 41st metallic chemical element with the symbol Nb. Niobium is hard, durable, and strong, being very helpful in alloys for jet engines and oil rigs. It is also non-toxic and very pretty when anodized, making it an ideal metal for jewelry and art. It is classified as a semi-precious metal, but with its industrial and decorative uses, it becomes a very precious metal for some. The metal got its name from "Niobe", who was the daughter of Tantalus in Greek Mythology. This is also evident on the periodic table, due to Niobium being situated directly above Tantalum. However, it was originally named "Columbium", and was later changed for obvious reasons. Urban Dictionary
