What is technetium?
Technetium is a metal chemical element that does not look natural because it does not have a stable isotope. This carries the distinction that it is the first synthetically produced element, after a large experiment by scientists who predicted its presence on the basis of the order of the periodic table of elements. Consumers generally do not interact with Technetia because it is radioactive, although it is used as a radioactive tracker for some medical tests, so people with certain diseases can be familiar with it. In humid air, the element is slowly oxidized and carefully processed due to its radioactivity. Technetium is also dissolved in certain substances such as nitric acid or sulfuric acid. It is identified on a periodic table with a TC symbol and has an atomic number of 43, location between molybdenum and ruthenium.
The history of the element is quite complex. The existence of Technetium was first assumed by Dmitrim Mendelev, who noticed the gaps in the periodic table that was assumed to be filled with an unknown firstKem. During the 18th century, chemists found a number of substances that they designed as a missing element, but it turned out to be unclean forms of other elements. In the end, in 1937, Carlo Perrier and Emilio Segre produced Technetium in their laboratory by bombing the molybdenum in cycling. The new element was named Technetium in honor of technology that facilitated the discovery.
Most of the world Technetia is produced as a by -product of nuclear cleavage and tends to be expensive. The element is used in chemistry as a catalyst for various reactions and is also used in nuclear medicine. Some scientists also believe that this could be used as an additive in metal alloys to help metal corrosion. Access to Technetium is generally controlled because the element is radioactive and therefore potentially dangerous in the hands of people who are inexperienced.
A small amount of technetium enters the environment through nuclear weapons detonation, incorrect disposal of medical waste and nuclear emissionsImplification. People can absorb the element with air and water, which could cause health problems at high concentrations. Most technetium seems to be expressed by the body and can therefore be safely used in medical display. Specialized testing can be performed to search for Technetia exposure in people who may be at higher risk.
