Vanadium

, 2) closely follows scandium, having two types of funnels. Funnel A only differs from that of scandium by having a globe (see 4

d

) inserted in the ring of four ovoids; funnel B has a six-atomed, instead of a five-atomed globe at the top, and slips a third globe containing twenty atoms (see 4

d

) between the two identical with those of scandium (see 4

c

). The central globe has seven atoms in its middle body instead of four. In this way does vanadium succeed in overtopping scandium by 126 atoms.
