Cadmium in wet air oxidation and slow loss of metallic luster, heating surface brown oxide layer. High temperature response to cadmium and halogen halide cadmium. Can also be directly combined with sulfur, cadmium sulfide. Cadmium, soluble in acid, but not soluble in alkali. Cadmium oxidation state for + 1 + 2. Solubility of cadmium cadmium oxide and hydroxide are small, they are soluble in acid, but not soluble in alkali. Cadmium can form a variety of complex ion, such as Cd (NH3), Cd (CN), CdCl, etc.
