Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Question (a day early):

The Question:

This element has low ductility and high reactivity to air resulting in 
limited industrial uses. The largest use of this element is in the 
electronics industry in resistors and in hybrid integrated circuits. This 
element is used as a catalyst in the petroleum refining industry. 
Additions of this element to Titanium piping result in a significant 
corrosion resistance improvement for sour gas oil well applications. What 
element is being described?


The winner of this week's quiz will get to put Clumpy and his cousin 
Kloumpios to work. Both of them safely arrived here in Iowa after their 
"boat" ride across the Atlantic, up the Mississippi and finally up the 
Cedar River to Cedar Rapids. The Army Corp of Engineers didn't quite know 
what to make of their boat as they negotiated thru the Mississippi lock 
and dam system.
