Technetium is a chemical element that has the symbol Tc and the atomic number 43. Pronounced tek-nee-s(h)ee-um, the chemical properties of this silvery grey, radioactive, crystalline transition metal are intermediate between rhenium and manganese. Its short-lived isotope Tc-99m is used in nuclear medicine for a wide variety of diagnostic tests. Tc-99 is used as a gamma ray-free source of beta particles, and its pertechnetate ion (TcO4-) could find use as an anodic corrosion inhibitor for steel.\n\nDmitri Mendeleev predicted many of the properties of element 43, which he called ekamanganese, well before its actual discovery (see Mendeleev's predicted elements). In 1937 its isotope Tc-97 became the first element to be artificially produced, hence its name (from the Greek τεχνητος, meaning "artificial"). Most technetium produced on Earth is a by-product of fission of uranium-235 in nuclear reactors and is extracted from nuclear fuel rods. No isotope of technetium has a half-life longer than 4.2 million years (Tc-98), so its detection in red giants in 1952 helped bolster the theory that stars can produce heavier elements. On earth, technetium occurs naturally only in uranium ores as a product of spontaneous fission; the quantities are minute but have been measured.\n\nNotable characteristics\nTechnetium is a silvery-grey radioactive metal with an appearance similar to platinum. However, it is commonly obtained as a grey powder. Its position in the periodic table is between rhenium and manganese and as predicted by the periodic law its properties are intermediate between those two elements. This element is unusual among the lighter elements because it has no stable isotopes and is therefore extremely rare on Earth.\n\nThe metal form of technetium slowly tarnishes in moist air. Its oxides are TcO2 and Tc2O7. Under oxidizing conditions technetium (VII) will exist as the pertechnetate ion, TcO4-. Common oxidation states of technetium include 0, +2, +4, +5, +6 and +7. When in powder form technetium will burn in oxygen. It dissolves in aqua regia, nitric acid, and concentrated sulfuric acid, but it is not soluble in hydrochloric acid. It has characteristic spectral lines at 363 nm, 403 nm, 410 nm, 426 nm, 430 nm, and 485 nm.\n\nThe metal form is slightly paramagnetic, meaning its magnetic dipoles align with external magnetic fields even though technetium is not normally magnetic. The crystal structure of the metal is hexagonal close-packed. Pure metallic single-crystal technetium becomes a type II superconductor at 7.46 K; irregular crystals and trace impurities raise this temperature to 11.2 K for 99.9% pure technetium powder. Below this temperature technetium has a very high magnetic penetration depth, the largest among the elements apart from niobium.\n\n\nApplications\n\nNuclear medicine\nTc-99m ("m" indicates that this is a metastable nuclear isomer) is used in radioactive isotope medical tests, for example as a radioactive tracer that medical equipment can detect in the body. It is well suited to the role because it emits readily detectable 140 keV gamma rays, and it has a short half-life of 6.01 hours (meaning it has almost completely decayed to Tc-99 in 24 hours). In the book Technetium by Klaus Schwochau, 31 different radiopharmaceuticals based on Tc-99m are listed for imaging and functional studies of the brain, myocardium, thyroid, lungs, liver, gallbladder, kidneys, skeleton, blood and tumors.\n\nImmunoscintigraphy incorporates Tc-99m into a monoclonal antibody, an immune system protein capable of binding to cancer cells. A few hours after injection, medical equipment is used to detect the gamma rays emitted by the Tc-99m; higher concentrations indicate where the tumor is. This technique is particularly useful for detecting hard to find cancers, such as those affecting the intestine. These modified antibodies are sold by the German company Hoechst under the name Scintium.\n\nWhen Tc-99m is com

Do you mean when? Scheele discovered "Mo" in 1778. Most people call it "molly" because it is hard to pronounce. I worked hard to get the pronunciation correct since I analyze materials and run across it often. Mo is often used as an alloying component in steel to increase it's harden-ability.

This page is about silver the chemical element. For the color, see silver (color). See also Silver (disambiguation) \nSilver is a chemical element with the symbol Ag (from the traditional abbreviation for the Latin argentum). A soft white lustrous transition metal, it has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of any metal and occurs in minerals and in free form. This metal is used in coins, jewelry, tableware, photography, and in mirrors.\n\nContents [hide]\n1 Notable characteristics \n2 Applications \n3 History \n4 Occurrence \n5 Price \n6 Isotopes \n7 Silver in medicine \n7.1 Health precautions \n7.2 Alternative medicine \n8 References \n9 See also \n10 External links \n10.1 Publications on health effects \n \n\n\n[edit]\nNotable characteristics\n \nA chunk of silverSilver is a very ductile and malleable (slightly harder than gold) univalent coinage metal with a brilliant white metallic luster that can take a high degree of polish. It has the highest electrical conductivity of all metals, even higher than copper, but its greater cost and tarnishability has prevented it from being widely used in place of copper for electrical purposes.\n\nPure silver also has the highest thermal conductivity, whitest color, the highest optical reflectivity (although it is a poor reflector of ultraviolet light), and the lowest contact resistance of any metal. Silver halides are photosensitive and are remarkable for the effect of light upon them. This metal is stable in pure air and water, but does tarnish when it is exposed to ozone, hydrogen sulfide, or air with sulfur in it. The most common oxidation state of silver is +1 (for example, silver nitrate; AgNO3), a few +2 (for example, silver(II) fluoride; AgF2) and +3 compounds (for example, silver(III) persulfate; Ag2(SO5)3) are also known.\n\n[edit]\nApplications\nThe principal use of silver is as a precious metal. Its salts, especially silver nitrate and silver halides, are also widely used in photography (which is the largest single end use of silver). Some other uses for silver are as follows:\n\nElectrical and electronic products, which need silver's superior conductivity, even when tarnished. For example, printed circuits are made using silver paints, and computer keyboards use silver electrical contacts. Silver is also used in high voltage contacts because it is the only metal that will not arc across contacts, hence it is extremely safe. \nMirrors which need superior reflectivity for visible light are made with silver as the reflecting material in a process called silvering. Common mirrors are backed with aluminium. \nSilver has been coined to produce money since 700 BC by the Lydians, in the form of electrum. Later, silver was refined and coined in its pure form. The words for "silver" and "money" are the same in at least 14 languages. \nThe metal is chosen for its beauty in the manufacture of jewelry and silverware, which are traditionally made from the silver alloy known as Sterling silver, which is 92.5% silver. The name of United Kingdom monetary unit 'Pound' originally had the value of one troy pound of sterling silver. \nThe malleability, non-toxicity and beauty of silver make it useful in dental alloys for fittings and fillings. \nSilver's catalytic properties make it ideal for use as a catalyst in oxidation reactions; for example, the production of formaldehyde from methanol and air by means of silver screens or crystallites containing a minimum 99.95 weight-percent silver. Silver (upon some suitable support) is probably the only catalyst available today to convert ethylene to ethylene oxide (later hydrolyzed to ethylene glycol, used for making polyesters)—a very important industrial reaction. \nUsed to make solder and brazing alloys, electrical contacts, and high capacity silver-zinc and silver-cadmium batteries \nSilver sulfide, also known as Silver Whiskers, is formed when silver electrical contacts are used in an atmosphere r

Although I don't understand why you wouldn't just search for the answer, it is ununbium, which is the temporary IUPAC name for an element synthesized for a brief time (<< 1s) in around 2002 and 2004. It is not naturally occuring and little is known about it.

An element, sometimes called a chemical element, is a substance that cannot be divided or changed into other chemical substances by any ordinary chemical technique.\n\nElements outside of nature are those that have been created by smashing molecules together in labrotories.  They generally have a very short halflife.\n\nElements occuring in nature can be found on the periodic table and go from Hydrogen (1) to Uranium (92).\n\nSome ancient philosophies used a set of classical elements to explain patterns in nature.  These were Air, Fire, Water, Earth and Aether.  These were used throughout the middle ages to help people explain things that weren't fully understood like how some objects floated, why people got sick, etc.\n\nIn popular western media these elements were revitalized and include Air, Earth, Fire, Water and sometimes Spirit.\n\nThey are also now used in some neo-pagan religious practices. \n\nRegards,\nArmus

Adamantium is a fictional chemical substance, often a metal. The name comes from adamant or adamantine combined with the Neolatin ending -ium, and resembles the form of the names of the chemical elements. In its classical meaning, adamant referred either to any hard substance, including diamond, or a hypothetical impenetrable mineral; thus, adamantium often refers to a fictional impenetrable element or substance.
