Best Answer

The brackets are used for isotopic elements--those with variable numbers of neutrons. The atomic weight of the most stable isotope is the one in brackets.

You know, this is a terrible way to be getting your chemistry coursework done.

Probably because technetium does not occur naturally; all its isotopes are radioactive with short half-lives compared with naturally occurring radioactive elements such as uranium.

Technetium in brackets?

Any time you see the atomic mass of an element in brackets on the periodic chart, that number represents the mass number of the longest-lived or best-known isotope of that element. In other words there is no stable isotope, i.e. all forms of it are radioactive.
