Sejarah
Tantalum was discovered in Sweden in 1802 by Anders Ekeberg in the minerals tantalite from Finland and yttrotantalite from Sweden.
Unfortunately, William Hyde Wollaston claimed Ekeberg's new element was actually niobium, which had also been discovered in 1802.
In 1846, German chemist Heinrich Rose finally proved beyond doubt that tantalum and niobium were different elements.

Aplikasi
Tantalum is used in the electronics industry for capacitors and high power resistors.
The high melting point and oxidation resistance lead to the use of the metal in the production of vacuum furnace parts.
Tantalum oxide is used to make special glass with high index of refraction for camera lenses.
