How expensive is technetium?
The price of technetium is approx. 50 US $/g.
What is the most expensive thing in existence?
Antimatter
What type of metal is the most expensive?
Technetium and Rhodium.
Is anything more expensive than antimatter at 62.5 billion dollars?
well, i think yes. Antimatter is produced when high energy particles collides like when cosmic rays impacts with the earth's atmosphere. Antimatter will immediately annihilate when it comes in contact with matter so it's almost impossible to collect. But antiparticles can be created artificially in the cyclotrons like in the ATHENA project at CERN. another challenging problem is how to store antimatter, the Penning Trap (used for charged particles) and the atomic trap(used for uncharged particles) are specialized device to store antimatter. running the CERN is costing billions of dollars. estimations points to 62.5 trillion dollars to produce 1 gram of antimatter. so far, i think it would be the most expensive substance ever made.
Is technetium more abundant in compounds or alone?
Technetium is not abundant. Compounds of Tc are most used.
Why has the price of technetium gone down since the 1950s?
The price of technetium has gone down because there wasnt much technetium in the 1950s which made it rare and expencive but now there are more power stations now than there was before which produce technetium so there is more about and has reduced in price.
Where can you find antimatter?
Its is formed when two atoms bang into eachother. Scientists are trying to trap antimatter to study it and learn more about it.
Why is technetium in the periodic table of elements?
Technetium has protons, neutrons and electrons. It also happens to be radioactive. For more information on it go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technetium
Would an antimatter bomb be more powerful than a nuke?
If such a device could be made, it would be a lot more powerful than a nuke of similar size, as ALL the mass of the antimatter and neutralising matter would be anhialated and turned to energy, instead of a small fraction of total mass of uranium, plutonium etc. Currently not a real threat to the world as antimatter is extremely expensive to produce and the total amount manufactured to date would only power a 60 watt light bulb for a few hours, and cost $ billions to produce. Ds1ao: with on gram of antimatter you can make a 43 kiloton bomb (more than three times as powerful as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima
What are the advantages of using antimatter?
Currently antimatter is only used for scientific research as it is very expensive to obtain. In the future antimatter could be used for anything that requires energy such as producing electricity.
How come the universe is made of matter and not antimatter?
That is not currently known. There is a slight assymetry between matter and antimatter, but so far, it seems that this assymetry is not enough to explain why there is only matter, and hardly any antimatter, in the Universe. Without such an assymetry, there wouldn't be either matter or antimatter in the Universe - just radiation. For more information about what is known, and what isn't, check the Wikipedia article on "Baryon asymmetry".
What are two questions physicists have regarding antimatter?
1. Why is there more matter than antimatter in the Universe? Or: Why is there matter at all? (If there were the same amount of matter and antimatter, and it came into contact, it would quickly get destroyed. 2. If antimatter is so abundant, how come we've never come in contact with it or have been able to observe it?
