Scandium

Scandium forms colorless compounds similar to those of aluminum. It has yet to find much importance in use. It is usually found in nature with yttrium and lanthanum and the fourteen members of the lanthanide series. It is found with yttrium in the silicate mineral Thortveitite.

Scandium is the first element to occupy the 3d orbital after filling the 4s orbitals, the first of the "d group" of the transition elements.
