2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Scandium is known as one of the rare earth elements.
Scandium metal found in rare minerals called Wolframite .

Osmium metal does not oxidize in air unless it is heated.
But if it heated den it forms Osmium Tetroxide, which is highly toxic.

3 Uses

3.1 Uses & Benefits

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.

Its has very limited uses and its alloys are very hard and are used in the manufacturing of pen tips, pivots, needles and electrical contacts.
It is also used as industrial catalyst to speed up the chemical reaction.
