You might get gold but these obtained isotopes are radioactive and unstable; so it is useless.

Does technetium combine with other elements to form molecules?

Yes, technetium can combine with other elements to form molecules. Technetium has a tendency to form compounds with a variety of elements due to its position in the periodic table. Several technetium compounds have been synthesized and studied in both research and industrial applications.


What is the use of technetium 99?

Technetium-99 is commonly used in medical imaging procedures, particularly in nuclear medicine scans. It is utilized in bone scans, kidney scans, and cardiac stress tests to help diagnose various medical conditions. Its short half-life and ability to emit gamma radiation make it a useful tracer for tracking the function of organs and tissues in the body.


Does technetium react to other elements?

Having a Pauling electronegativity of 1,9 technetium is considered a medium chemically reactive element. Technetium react with oxygen, halogens, oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, boron, carbon etc. and can form alloys with metals. Technetium is dissolved in inorganic acids excepting hydrochloric acid. Do not make a confusion between reactivity and radioactivity.

Where does technetium come from?

Technetium is now produced in nuclear reactors. Neutrons collide with atoms of uranium or plutonium to form new elements. The technetium is then converted to a compound called ammonium pertechnate (NH 4 TcO 4 ). That compound is then treated with hydrogen gas to obtain pure technetium metal.Technetium has never been found on Earth. It has, however, been found in certain types of stars.

How is technetium obtained now?

The metal technetium has no stable isotopes. It is synthesized in the physics lab by lowering a molybdenum sample into an operating nuclear reactor. The molybdenum is bathed in the nuetron flux, and neutron capture will occur and transmute the molybdenum into technetium. The sample is then withdrawn and put into a shielded casket to make it available for use. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on technetium.


What does technetium make?

How did the scientist differ from the alchemists?

Alchemists tried to make GOLD from base metals. Scientists know that theoretically Gold can only be made by altering the number of protons in an atom. Alchemists did NOT know about protons etc., .

Describe and explain how and why technetium is used today?

Technetium is an artificially produced radioactive chemical element (Symbol Tc). It is produced by nuclear fission.It is used to make iron and steel corrosion-resistant.One of its isotopes, Technetium-99m, is very useful in hospital radioactive tests and diagnostic nuclear medicine because of its short half-life (6.01 hours).It was Dmitri Mendeleev who predicted that the missing element in the periodic table would be chemically similar to manganese. And he was right. Manganese appears in the periodic table right above technetium, and the two transitional metals have similar chemical properties. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on technetium.The element technetium is an "artificial" element. This odd metal has no stable isotopes, so any that existed on earth long ago has decayed and vanished. It was created in experiments in the Berkeley cyclotron facility, but was isolated by a pair of Italian scientists who isolated it from materials sent them from the California facility.Today Technetium is used in making nuclear fuel. It is also a filament for many energy saving light bulbs. Technetium will hopefully be a future replacement for many gas fueled engines such as trains.
