I-Tantalum iyingxenye yensimbi. Itholakala kakhulu ku-tantalite futhi ihlangana ne-niobium. I-Tantalum inobulukhuni obumaphakathi kanye ne-ductility. Ingadonswa ibe imicu ukwenza ama-foil amancane. I-coefficient yayo yokwandisa okushisayo incane kakhulu. Izakhiwo zamakhemikhali ezinhle kakhulu, ukumelana nokugqwala okuphezulu, zingasetshenziswa ukwenza imikhumbi ehwamukayo, njll., ingasetshenziswa futhi njengama-electrode, i-electrolysis, ama-capacitor kanye nama-rectifiers amashubhu kagesi.
