Technetium is in the period 5 of the periodic table.
Technetium is found in both in a compound and pure forms
Technetium is a man made element; natural technetium exist only in ultra traces in uranium deposits.
No, Technetium does no occur naturally on earth except in trace amounts in molybdenum deposits.
Technetium exist in infinitesimal traces in some uranium ores. Being radioactive and unstable technetium was lost from the Earth by decay.

No. Almost all technetium is man made. In nature it is found only in trace amounts mixed in uranium or platinum ores.
Uranium deposits contain ultratraces of technetium; but Tc is prepared generally from burned nuclear fuels.
