Atomic Symbol for Scandium (& Cool facts: Sources, Color, Uses and more...) 2022

Some atom symbols are easy to figure out, some are not...

The only sure thing is that every atom has a symbol. But what is the atom whose symbol is Sc?

The answer is Scandium (Sc). However there is a lot of stuff about Scandium that people don't know. Let me walk you through...

Scandium Overview

Atomic Symbol

Sc (Scandium)

Sources

Occurs mainly in the minerals thortveitile (~34% scandium) and wiikite. Also in some tin and tungsten ores. Pure scandium is obtained as a by-product of uranium refining.

Description

Fairly soft, silvery-white metal. Eighth most abundant 'rare earth' found in the earth's crust (5.0 ppm).

Name Origin

Latin: Scandia, Scandinavia.

State at 20 °C

Solid

Uses

Scandium metal is used in some aerospace applications. Scandum oxide (Sc2O3) is used in the manufacture of high-intensity electric lamps. Scandium iodide (ScI3) is used in lamps that produce light having a color closely matching natural sunlight.
