    Cadmium is a soft silvery metal that boils at 765°C and melts at 320.9°C, with a density of 8.65g/cm3. It is used in nickel-cadmium batteries, as alloys with low melting points, and was discovered in 1817 by Fredrich Stromeyer, though its compounds are toxic and it causes cancer and birth defects.
