Where in the world was element technetium found?

I heard from many people that it' comes from stars and it's found no where on earth


Why is there no technetium in nature?

Technetium is not found in nature in appreciable amounts because it has no stable isotopes. It undergoes radioactive decay relatively quickly, making it rare and short-lived in the Earth's crust. Any technetium present on Earth is likely formed as a byproduct of nuclear reactions or artificially created in laboratories.


Is technetium rare?

Yes, technetium is considered rare on Earth. It is a synthetic element with no stable isotopes found naturally in the Earth's crust. Technetium is primarily produced in nuclear reactors and is used in various applications such as medical imaging and nuclear energy.


What period was technetium found in?

Where was technetium mostly found?

Technetium is not a naturally-occurring element; it was created in a laboratory.


Where could you find the element technetium in the world?

Technetium-99 has not been found on earth because there are no stable isotopes of Technetium because they are all radioactive. They also have a short half-life and therefore need to be made in a nuclear reactor. It has been detected in some stars, but aside from that the best place to find technetium now is in nuclear reactors.


Does technetium have a taste?

Technetium is a radioactive metallic element with no known taste or flavor. It is not naturally occurring on Earth and is primarily produced in nuclear reactors.
