Not really corrosive!
Scandium itself is not highly hazardous, but care should be taken when handling its compounds, especially those that are flammable or corrosive. Inhalation or ingestion of scandium compounds can be toxic. Additionally, prolonged exposure to scandium dust can cause respiratory irritation.
Scandium is a highly reactive metal, but it does not rust in the same way as iron or steel. Instead, when exposed to air, it forms a thin layer of oxide on its surface which can help protect it from further corrosion. However, prolonged exposure to moisture and other corrosive substances can still lead to the deterioration of scandium.
Only a few elements can be chemically combined with scandium. Here are a few examples of chemical reactions involving Scandium;Scandium + Chlorine --> Scandium (III) ChlorideScandium + Nitrogen --> Scandium (III) NitrateScandium + Sulphur --> Scandium (III) SulphideScandium + Oxygen --> Scandium (III) Oxide
