Scandium oxide.
Scandium is usually found with rare earth and uranium compounds. One by-product of these metals is scandium oxide (Sc2O3) and it usually traded in this form. To obtain metallic scandium, the oxide is first converted to a fluoride and then reduced using calcium.
Scandium metal itself does not have a distinct odor. However, compounds of scandium may have characteristic odors depending on their chemical structure.
Scandium has four electronic shells with 2, 8, 9, 2 electrons.
Elemental scandium is not considered to be toxic. Little animal testing of scandium compounds has been done.[29] The median lethal dose (LD50) levels for scandium(III) chloride for rats have been determined and were intraperitoneal 4 mg/kg and oral 755 mg/kg.[30] In the light of these results compounds of scandium should be handled as compounds of moderate toxicity. or you can look up "scandium element" and go to wikipedia hope i helped :D
Scandium primarily forms compounds with elements such as oxygen, fluorine, and nitrogen. It can also bond with other metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and titanium to form alloys. In biology, scandium can be found complexing with ligands such as citrate and amino acids.
Scandium was discovered in 1879.
Scandium is a reactive element. It forms compounds with oxygen, halogens, and acids. While it is more stable and resistant to corrosion compared to some other reactive metals, it is not considered non-reactive.
Scandium is named after Scandinavia, which is the region where it was found.
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.
+1 and +3 in its compounds 0 in elemental form
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
No, it is not.
