Scandium oxide (or Discandium trioxide) - Sc2O3
1. Eb2O3 doesn't exist. 2. Er2O3 is the chemical formula of erbium oxide. 3. Any link between erbium oxide and scandium.
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.
Scandium has one notable application - as a minor addition to aluminum alloys (about 1/2 of one percent by weight), it is very effective in strengthening them. It has little other practical application at this time.
what is the color of scandium?
Yes, scandium oxide - Sc2O3 has molecules.
Scandium oxide.
Scandium (III) oxide
scandium oxide
Sc2O3
Scandium has the chemical symbol Sc and 21 is it's atomic number. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on this (usually considered) rare earth element.
Scandium oxide (or Discandium trioxide) - Sc2O3
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.

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
ScO2 is not an existing compound.Scandium oxide (scandium(III) oxide) is Sc2O3 , isostructural related to Al2O3 (aluminum oxide)
Nilson prepared 2 grams of scandium oxide of high purity. He named the element scandium, from the Latin Scandia meaning "Scandinavia".
