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.
Yes, scandium is purified through a process known as solvent extraction or ion exchange. These methods involve separating scandium from other elements present in the ore to obtain a high-purity scandium product.
Scandium is a natural chemical element; it is obtained as a by-product from other metal industrial preparation or from rare minerals as thortveitite, euxenite and gadolinite.

look in a text book becuase i could find any other sites!!
Scandium is synthetized in supernovas by a phenomenon called r-process. Scandium is a natural chemical element on the Earth; it is obtained as a by-product from other metal industrial preparation or from rare minerals as thortveitite, euxenite and gadolinite
Scandium is an metallic element. Since it is an element is not made from anything else. Scandium can be found on earth, the sun and the stars. Pure scandium is obtained by electrolysis of molten scandium, lithium and potassium chlorides in a graphite crucible, with a wolfram wire with molten zinc as an electrode. As all other chemical elements scandium atom has a nucleus (containing protons and neutrons) and a cloud of electrons.
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
what is the color of scandium?
Scandium is, itself, an element and so there are no elements of scandium.
Scandium is relatively rare in Earth's crust compared to more common elements, but it is not considered a scarce element. It is primarily found in the minerals thortveitite, euxenite, and gadolinite, and is often obtained as a byproduct of uranium processing. Recycling of scandium-containing products is also becoming more common, helping to secure its supply.
Scandium chloride (or scandium trichloride), ScCl3
Scandium does not coast.
