Aqueous Methanol Leaf Extract, Annona Muricata, SOD, CAT, And MDA Of Cadmium

In the periodic table of elements, between zinc (Zn) and mercury (Hg), lies the naturally occurring metal cadium (Cd), which exhibits chemical properties akin to zinc (Zn). It is an element with supple, ductile, silvery white with bluish undertones, glossy, and electro positive characteristics. Cadmium has a melting point is 321 °C, boiling point is 765 °C, atomic number is 48, and atomic mass is 112. It has no taste or smell and is extremely toxic. Eight stable isotopes make up this metal: 106 Cd, 108 Cd, 110 Cd, 111 Cd, 112 Cd, 113 Cd, 114 Cd, and 116 Cd. 112 Cad and 114 Cad are the most prevalent isotopes (Adriano 2001). It typically appears as a divalent caption that has been complicated by additional elements (e.g., CdCl2). Since Cd is typically found as an impurity in deposits of zinc (Zn) or lead (Pb), it is primarily produced as a by-product of the smelting of these metals. Cd is present in the earth's crust at a rate of about 0.1 parts per million (Hans 1999).
