  Scandium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scandium is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Sc and atomic number 21.
A soft, silvery, white transition metal, scandium occurs in rare minerals from Scandinavia and it is sometimes classified along with yttrium and the lanthanides as a rare earth.
Fischer, Brunger, and Grienelaus prepared metallic scandium for the first time in 1937, by electrolysis of a eutectic melt of potassium, lithium, and scandium chlorides at 700 to 800°C Tungsten wire in a pool of liquid zinc were the electrodes in a graphite crucible.
