Prices of elements and their compounds

Prices of elements and their compounds

This table lists the elements by their name and gives some recent historical prices for them and their commonly traded compounds. The first of the two price columns shows the price in US dollars per kg of the compound specified. The second shows the USD price per kg of element in the compound. Dates on prices facilitate forex conversion.

Elements of only short half-lives are unlikely to be traded on a secondary market outside of nuclear lab production, and were therefore excluded from the main table. The current cutoff excludes elements with atomic number greater than 105. They have no isotope with a half-life greater than 1.5 hours and are listed separately later.
