Where could you find the element technetium in the world?

Technetium-99 has not been found on earth because there are no stable isotopes of Technetium because they are all radioactive. They also have a short half-life and therefore need to be made in a nuclear reactor. It has been detected in some stars, but aside from that the best place to find technetium now is in nuclear reactors.

Technetium, Promethium, and all elements heavier then Bismuth.


Where would you find technetium?

Technetium is an artificial chemical element and is extracted from fission products, prepared by neutron activation or by irradiation in particles accelerators.


What is the first man made element on the periodic table?

Chemical Element: technetium(Modern Latin: from Greek, technetos, "artificial"; the first man-made artificial element; radioactive metal)Chemical-Element InformationSymbol: TcAtomic number: 43Year discovered: 1937Discovered by: Emilio Gino Segré (1905-1989), an Italian physicist, and Carlo Perrier of Italy.Element 43 (technetium) was predicted on the basis of the periodic table by Mendeléyev.He suggested that it should be very similar to manganese and gave it the name eka-manganese.Technetium was erroneously reported as having been discovered in 1925, at which time it was named masurium.The element was actually discovered by C. Perrier and Emilio Gino Segrè in Italy in 1937.It was found in a sample of molybdenum bombarded by deuterons.Technetium was the first element to be produced artificially and all its isotopes are radioactive.It is named after the Greek word technetos, meaning "artificial".


What can scientists find out about the earth with a seismometer?

The perturbations in the bowels of the planet earth.


Where does technetium come from?

Technetium is now produced in nuclear reactors. Neutrons collide with atoms of uranium or plutonium to form new elements. The technetium is then converted to a compound called ammonium pertechnate (NH 4 TcO 4 ). That compound is then treated with hydrogen gas to obtain pure technetium metal.Technetium has never been found on Earth. It has, however, been found in certain types of stars.


Is technetium a limited resource?

yes technetium is a limited resource. You can only find it in certain parts of the world not that I know of though


How do scientists find out information on the core?

Scientists find out information on the core by using special tools to dig out samples from deep inside the earth. Special instruments "look inside" parts of the earth we cannot see.


How did they find technetium?

Technetium was discovered by Emilio Segre and Carlo Perrier in 1936 at the University of Palermo, Sicily, Italy.They studied a molybdenum foil extracted from the cyclotron out of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and identified isotopes of technetium.
