Scandium it solid or liquid or gas?
At room temperature scandium is a solid metal.
What does scandium obtained from?
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.
What is the percentage of scandium found on earth?
100% of the scandium found is found on Earth. But that's not the answer you wanted. What you wanted was the answer to the questions "what percentage of the earth is scandium?" The Clarke Number is variously given as in the 20 to 24 range. This means that out of each million parts of the Earth's crust (we must use only the crust as we can't really measure what the centre of the Earth is made of) 20 parts to 24 parts are scandium.

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.
