Technetium is a chemical element; it has symbol Tc and atomic number 43. It is the lightest element whose isotopes are all radioactive. Technetium is one of only two radioactive elements both preceded

Periodisches System der Elemente (Periodic system of the elements) (1904–1945, now at the Gdańsk University of Technology): lack of elements: polonium 84Po (though discovered as early as in 1898 by Maria Sklodowska-Curie), astatine 85At (1940, in Berkeley), francium 87Fr (1939, in France), neptunium 93Np (1940, in Berkeley) and other actinides and lanthanides. Uses old symbols for: argon 18Ar (here: A), technetium 43Tc (Ma, masurium), xenon 54Xe (X),
Chloro-containing coordination complexes of technetium (99Tc) in various oxidation states: Tc(III), Tc(IV), Tc(V), and Tc(VI) represented.
The first technetium-99m generator, unshielded, 1958. A Tc-99m pertechnetate solution is being eluted from Mo-99 molybdate bound to a chromatographic substrate
The periodic table, also known as the periodic table of the elements, is an ordered arrangement of the chemical elements into rows and columns. An icon of chemistry, the periodic table is widely used
Technetium
…the product of neutron capture in molybdenum ores. This silvery gray, crystalline transition metal lies between manganese and rhenium in group 7 of the periodic table, and its chemical properties are intermediate between the two. The most common naturally occurring isotope is 99Tc, in traces only. Many of technetium's…
Liquid mercury. Its liquid state at standard conditions is the result of relativistic effects.
