Vanadium is a chemical element; it has symbol V and atomic number 23. It is a hard, silvery-grey, malleable transition metal . The elemental metal is rarely found in nature, but once isolated artificially, the formation of an oxide layer ( passivation ) somewhat stabilizes the free metal against further oxidation .
This template calculates the molecular mass (or molar mass) of a chemical compound. It is designed to be embedded in infoboxes {{ Infobox drug }} and {{ Chembox }} , but it can be used in-line just as well.

The molar mass of atoms of an element is given by the relative atomic mass of the element multiplied by the molar mass constant, M u ≈ 1.000 000 × 10 −3 kg/mol ≈ 1 g/mol. For normal samples from Earth with typical isotope composition, the atomic weight can be approximated by the standard atomic weight [2] or the conventional atomic weight.
Vanadium compounds are compounds formed by the element vanadium (V). The chemistry of vanadium is noteworthy for the accessibility of the four adjacent oxidation states 2–5, whereas the chemistry of the other group 5 elements , niobium and tantalum , are somewhat more limited to the +5 oxidation state.

For stable elements, the formal standard atomic weight (s.a.w.) is added, as published by CIAAW. When the s.a.w. is in interval-notation, its conventional value is added too. Data is retrieved from central s.a.w. values lists, formatting is by {{Infobox element/standard atomic weight format}} (same as {{infobox element}}). Example:
Naturally occurring vanadium (23 V) is composed of one stable isotope 51 V and one radioactive isotope 50 V with a half-life of 2.71×10 17 years. 24 artificial radioisotopes have been characterized (in the range of mass number between 40 and 65) with the most stable being 49 V with a half-life of 330 days, and 48 V with a half-life of 15.9735 days.
Here the "unified atomic mass unit" refers to 1/12 of the mass of an atom of 12 C in its ground state. [13] The IUPAC definition [1] of relative atomic mass is: An atomic weight (relative atomic mass) of an element from a specified source is the ratio of the average mass per atom of the element to 1/12 of the mass of an atom of 12 C.
