    Tantalum is a heavy, hard, grey metal that is almost non-corrosive. It melts at 2996 Celsius and boils at 5425 Celsius. Tantalum is used in nuclear reactors, vacuum furnaces, capacitors, aircraft parts, and camera lenses due to its hardness. It was discovered by Anders Ekeberg and is found in countries like Australia, Brazil, and Canada. The name tantalum comes from the Greek mythological King Tantalus.
