    Tantalum is a silvery metal that was discovered in 1802 by Swedish chemist Anders Ekeberg, who extracted it from two minerals - tantalite from Finland and yttrotantalite from Sweden. Its main uses include in electrolytic capacitors, vacuum furnace parts, chemical process equipment, nuclear reactors, and aircraft and missile parts. Tantalum has the symbol Ta and atomic number 73, and is a soft metal in its pure form that belongs to group 5 of the periodic table.
