Cadmium. Cadmium is a lustrous, silver-white, ductile, very malleable metal. Its surface has a bluish tinge and the metal is soft enough to be cut with a knife, but it tarnishes in air. It is soluble in acids but not in alkalis.
Cadmium chloride forms crystals with rhombohedral symmetry. Cadmium iodide, CdI 2, has a very similar crystal structure to CdCl 2. The individual layers in the two structures are identical, but in CdCl 2 the chloride ions are arranged in a CCP lattice, whereas in CdI 2 the iodide ions are arranged in an HCP lattice.
