What period was technetium found in?
Technetium is in the period 5 of the periodic table.
Is technetium found in a compound or pure elemental form?
Technetium is found in both in a compound and pure forms
Where is technetium found on earth?
Technetium is a man made element; natural technetium exist only in ultra traces in uranium deposits.
Is technetium found in bones?
No, Technetium does no occur naturally on earth except in trace amounts in molybdenum deposits.
How much abundance does technetium have?
Technetium (Tc) is a synthetic element and does not have stable isotopes; its most common isotope, technetium-98, has a half-life of about 4.2 million years. In nature, technetium is found in trace amounts, primarily produced as a byproduct of uranium fission in nuclear reactors. Its abundance in the Earth's crust is extremely low, estimated at about 0.0007 parts per million. Overall, technetium is not naturally occurring in significant quantities and is mostly produced artificially for various applications.
How were no one had found a trace of technetium?
Technetium exist in infinitesimal traces in some uranium ores. Being radioactive and unstable technetium was lost from the Earth by decay.
Who found Technetium?

When technetium was found?
Technetium was discovered by Emilio Segre and Carlo Perrier in 1936 at the University of Palermo, Sicily, Italy.
Is technetium found in pure form?
No. Almost all technetium is man made. In nature it is found only in trace amounts mixed in uranium or platinum ores.
What does technetium smell like?
Technetium is a radioactive metal and is not naturally found in terrestrial environments in large quantities. Therefore, its smell has not been scientifically documented.
