1.1 Uses & Benefits
It is used for research purpose. Very small amount of this metal is used in atomic batteries.
Its radioactive decay is used for a phosphor to give off light. The light emitted is converted into electricity.
Uses of Scandium are limited to research purpose only. However, it has very low density and higher melting point.
Its compounds like scandium iodide is used in mercury vapor lamps to produce very bright white light.
