Technetium is a chemical element; it has symbol Tc and atomic number 43. It is the lightest element whose isotopes are all radioactive. Technetium and promethium are the only radioactive elements whose neighbours in the sense of atomic number are both stable. All available technetium is produced as a synthetic element. Naturally occurring technetium is a spontaneous fission product in uranium ore and thorium ore (the most common source), or the product of neutron capture in molybdenum ores. This silvery gray, crystalline transition metal lies between manganese and rhenium in group 7 of th
Technetium is a radioactive chemical element (symbol Tc) that is the lightest element where all forms are radioactive, and it must be created synthetically since it doesn't exist naturally in significant amounts. It matters because it is used in medical imaging and industrial applications, and understanding it helps scientists study radioactive elements and nuclear processes.
