The first biological role for this element was discovered in 2000 when it was found in the carbonic anhydrase en- zyme of marine diatoms, and the first spectroscopic definition of the meter was based on this element's red line. Along with bismuth, lead, and tin, this element comprises the alloy known as Wood's metal, and it is the only element in Group 12 that can form complex ions with chloride. The only ore mineral with this element is greenockite. This metal is the basis for the highest-grade yellow pigment, but its

The only ore mineral with this element is greenockite. This metal is the basis for the highest-grade yellow pigment, but its ingestion causes itai-itai disease, which includes severe osteo- porosis. Combined with nickel in most rechargeable batteries, identify this transition metal with atomic number 48 and symbol Cd.
