Technetium is a chemical element with the symbol Tc and atomic number 43. It is the lightest element whose most stable isotopes are radioactive, and it is not found naturally in appreciable quantities on Earth. The name derives from the Greek τεχνητός (technētos) meaning “artificial,” reflecting its creation in laboratories. In science contexts, technetium is central to nuclear medicine and research.
