TANTALUM

In response to Alan Luedeking's note about the properties of Tantalum, Michael Schmidt writes: "Tantalum can't be more conductive than silver but less than gold. Gold is less conductive than silver. Silver is the most conductive element. Gold is used on electronic contact points not because it is more conductive, but because it doesn't corrode. Tantalum does have a major use in electronics though. It is used to make capacitors. It provides a high capacitance value in a very small package."
