As anyone would guess, every atom has mass, an important physical property, even Technetium. But how do we know how much does a Tc atom weight?
First of all, if we know the atom symbol, let's say Tc, we can open any periodic table and search for Technetium.
In the case of Technetium the answer is 97,9072. However there is a lot of funny facts about Technetium that most people don't know. Shall we have a look?
