The source of technetium in the environment are nuclear fuels reprocessing plants.
A small amount of technetium is now in our earths environment, this is due to: - Nuclear bombs - Nuclear testing - Nuclear Accidents eg the Chernobyl disaster this is where technetium come from in small amounts in our environment. - There is additionally technetium present quite abundantly (up to about 5%) in nuclear reactor waste, and a small amount of this has escaped to the environment. - And finally, technetium is naturally present in our environment, but only in really tiny quantities in uranium ore. One tonne of a high grade uranium ore might typically contain 0.1 to 0.2 micrograms of technetium, which can be detected by its radiation signal. A very small proportion of natural uranium atoms undergo spontaneous fission (break in half) in the natural environment, and technetium is a likely product.
technetium may not be natrualy produced but it can still be found in small amounts in the environment. it comes in very small amounts. it can only come from where a nuclear explosion has ocoured, after the nuclear explosion technetium is left behind. but it will not last very long because of its short half life and so will be gone in a short amount of time. the main kinds of explosions that cause technetuim to be in the natural environment would be things such as, nuclear power stations exploding. although now a days this is very rare there have been few explsions, but you may also find it where a neclear bomb has been exploded.
Technetium is placed in the group 7 (manganese group) of the periodic table.
Only traces of natural technetium exist in uranium deposits. Tc is considered in weighing amounts as an artificial element.
In the Greek language the meaning of technetos is artificial.
Technetium is placed in the group 7 (manganese group) and period 5 of the periodic table of Mendeleev. The atomic number is 43.
The worlds came out.
Technetium is an artificial chemical element and is extracted from fission products, also prepared by neutron activation or by irradiation in particles accelerators.
The name "technetium" comes from the Greek word "technetos," meaning "artificial" or "man-made." This name was given to the element because technetium is the first element to be artificially produced in a laboratory rather than being found naturally in the Earth's crust.
I/you/we/they come. He/she/it comes. The present participle is coming.
The present perfect of 'come' is have come / has come.Ex: They have come to visit. She has come to see you in your new apartment.
Two causes are possible: - spontaneous fission of uranium - a reaction (n, gamma) of molybdenum
