The 10 pages that link to Tantalum, each with the reason it gives.

• PegmatiteRelated: Rare-element pegmatites can concentrate tantalum in minerals such as tantalite.

• TungstenCompared with: Tantalum is also refractory, but its corrosion resistance and formability distinguish it from tungsten.

• IridiumCompared with: Tantalum offers strong corrosion resistance in applications where iridium’s scarcity and cost are disadvantages.

• NiobiumCompared with: Their chemical resemblance delayed the recognition that niobium and tantalum are distinct elements.

• ColtanRelated: Its value drives most commercial extraction of coltan.

• HafniumCompared with: Tantalum lies next to hafnium in the periodic table but has distinct chemistry and applications.

• DubniumCompared with: Tantalum is a stable, familiar group 5 element against which dubnium's chemistry is compared.

• TantaliteRelated: Tantalum is the defining high-value element concentrated in tantalite.

• Tantalum carbideRelated: Tantalum supplies the metal framework in tantalum carbide.

• ProtactiniumCompared with: Its similar chemical behavior historically complicated the separation of protactinium from uranium ores.
