Here you’ll find 1 Chemical Elements that start with V that begin with V, organized from “Vanadium” to “Vanadium”. Vanadium appears as a hard, silvery metal and finds wide use in steel alloys, batteries, and chemical catalysts. See the A–Z index for other letters.

Chemical Elements that start with V are chemical elements whose names begin with the letter V. Vanadium, the best-known example, was identified in the early 19th century and later named after a Norse goddess.

Below you’ll find the table with Element, Atomic number, Atomic weight, and Discovery year.

Element: The element name helps you identify the entry and connect it to common uses or classroom topics.

Atomic number: Shows the number of protons and helps you place the element on the periodic table.

Atomic weight: The listed average mass helps you compare element masses and perform simple calculations in labs or assignments.

Discovery year: Shows when the element was discovered or first recognized; this gives historical context and teaching examples.

Vanadium
Naturally occurring transition metal used in steel alloys, catalysts, and redox-flow batteries. First discovered by A.M. del Río (1801) and rediscovered and named by N.G. Sefström (1830).
