| - Scandium (symbol Sc) is a chemical element, a transition metal with atomic number 21 on the periodic table.
- Due to the low availability and the difficulties in the preparation of metallic scandium, which was first done in 1937, it took until the 1970s before applications for scandium were developed. The positive effects of scandium on aluminium alloys were discovered in the 1970s, and its use in such alloys remains the only major application of scandium.
- Scandium (IPA: /ˈskandiəm/) is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Sc and atomic number 21. A soft, silvery, white metal, scandium ore occurs in rare minerals from Scandinavia and elsewhere, and it is sometimes considered along with yttrium, and the lanthanides and actinides, to be a rare earth.
