Scandium (Sc)

Scandium (Sc)

A much more abundant element on the sun than on earth, scandium ([Ar]3d14s2) (CAS 7440-20-2) is still widely distributed on earth, occurring in over 800 mineral species. Scandium is a silvery-white metal that develops a yellow or pink tint when exposed to air. It is relatively soft and is chemically similar to rare earth metals. Scandium's lightweight and high melting point suggest applications within the aircraft industry.
