100% of the scandium found is found on Earth. But that's not the answer you wanted. What you wanted was the answer to the questions "what percentage of the earth is scandium?" The Clarke Number is variously given as in the 20 to 24 range. This means that out of each million parts of the Earth's crust (we must use only the crust as we can't really measure what the centre of the Earth is made of) 20 parts to 24 parts are scandium.
The first member of the rare earth metals is lanthanum. It has the atomic number 57 and is commonly used in various industries such as electronics and optics.
Scandium metal itself does not have a distinct odor. However, compounds of scandium may have characteristic odors depending on their chemical structure.
ScBr3 is the chemical formula for scandium tribromide. It is a compound composed of scandium and bromine atoms, where scandium has a +3 oxidation state. ScBr3 is a yellowish solid at room temperature and is commonly used as a catalyst in organic synthesis reactions.
The element symbol Sc stands for scandium. Scandium is a silvery-white metallic element that is classified as a transition metal. It is commonly used in aerospace and industrial applications due to its lightweight and strength properties.

Scandium is usually found with rare earth and uranium compounds. One by-product of these metals is scandium oxide (Sc2O3) and it usually traded in this form. To obtain metallic scandium, the oxide is first converted to a fluoride and then reduced using calcium.
Scandium was discovered in 1879.
Scandium oxide.
The atomic number of scandium (Sc) is 21. The atomic weight of Sc is 44.95591 grams per mole.
Scandium is an metallic element. Since it is an element is not made from anything else. Scandium can be found on earth, the sun and the stars. Pure scandium is obtained by electrolysis of molten scandium, lithium and potassium chlorides in a graphite crucible, with a wolfram wire with molten zinc as an electrode. As all other chemical elements scandium atom has a nucleus (containing protons and neutrons) and a cloud of electrons.
Scandium is named after Scandinavia, which is the region where it was found.

Sc, scandium (21), the first metal element in the 3d-block (transition elements); next to calcium (20).
No. Scandium is in column 3 of a periodic table, and the alkaline earth metals are in column 2.
No, it is not.
Scandium is a metal and the 21st element on the periodic table. It is commonly used in high-performance alloys.
