Hi bobbym,

The Answer #5721 is correct! Neat work!

#5723. Name the chemical element with atomic number 72. A lustrous, silvery gray, tetravalent transition metal, it chemically resembles zirconium and is found in zirconium minerals. Its existence was predicted by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869, though it was not identified until 1923, making it the penultimate stable element to be discovered (rhenium was identified two years later). It is used in filaments and electrodes. Some semiconductor fabrication processes use its oxide for integrated circuits at 45 nm and smaller feature lengths. Some superalloys used for special applications contain this in combination with niobium, titanium, or tungsten.

#5724. Name the chemical element atomic number 49. It is a post-transition metallic element that is rare in Earth's crust. The metal is very soft, malleable and easily fusible, with a melting point higher than sodium, but lower than lithium or tin. Chemically, it is similar to gallium and thallium, and it is largely intermediate between the two in terms of its properties. It has no obvious role in biological processes and in common circumstances is not a toxic hazard. It is of considerable industrial importance, most notably in low melting point metal alloys such as solders, soft metal high vacuum seals.
