What does vanadium react with?
Vanadium makes a new substance with 8 other elements and chemicals in our lab:
- Vanadium + BoronVanadium boride V + 2B → VB₂ · Only in a very hot furnace · Try it
- Vanadium + CarbonVanadium carbide V + C → VC · Only in a very hot furnace · Try it
- Vanadium + NitrogenVanadium nitride 2V + N₂ → 2VN · Only when heated very strongly · Try it
- Vanadium + OxygenVanadium(V) oxide 4V + 5O₂ → 2V₂O₅ · When heated · Try it
- Vanadium + FluorineVanadium(V) fluoride 2V + 5F₂ → 2VF₅ · At room temperature · Try it
- Vanadium + ChlorineVanadium(IV) chloride V + 2Cl₂ → VCl₄ · When heated · Try it
- Vanadium + BromineVanadium(III) bromide 2V + 3Br₂ → 2VBr₃ · When heated · Try it
- Vanadium + IodineVanadium(III) iodide 2V + 3I₂ → 2VI₃ · When heated · Try it
It also blends into a mixture, like an alloy, with 73 other metals when melted together.
Nothing happens when it's simply mixed with 17 of the others. 21 pairings have never been tried, because not enough atoms have ever existed.
