technetium in the periodic table. It is about as reactive as rhenium metal, which is immediately below technetium in the periodic table. As such it tarnishes only very slowly in moist air. In practice, technetium is often supplied as a powder or as a sponge, and in this form it is much more reactive. When heated with oxygen the result is technetium (VII) oxide, (techentium heptoxide, Tc<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>).</p> <p>4Tc(s) + 7O<sub>2</sub>(g) → 2Tc<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>(s)</p> <h2 class="d">Reaction of technetium with water</h2> <p class="p_first">Technetium does not react with water under normal conditions.</p> <h2 class="d">Reaction of technetium with the halogens</h2> <p class="p_first">In similar fashion to rhenium, immediately below technetium in the periodic table, technetium is often supplied as a powder or as a sponge, and in this form it is quite more reactive. When heated with fluorine the result is a mixture of technetium (VI) fluoride, (technetium hexafluoride, TcF<sub>6</sub>) and technetium (VII) fluoride, (technetium heptafluoride, TcF<sub>7</sub>).</p> <p class="equation">Tc(s) + 3F<sub>2</sub>(g) → TcF<sub>6</sub>(s)</p> <p class="equation">2Tc(s) + 7F<sub>2</sub>(g) → 2TcF<sub>7</sub>(s)</p> <p>Technetium metal does dissolve in warm bromine water.</p> <h2 class="d">Reaction of technetium with acids</h2> <p class="p_first">In similar fashion to rhenium, immediately below technetium in the periodic table, technetium is insoluble in hydrochloric acid (HCl) and hydrofluoric acid (HF). It does dissolve in nitric acid, HNO<sub>3</sub>, or concentrated sulphuric acid, H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>, both of which are oxidizing, to form solutions of pertechnetic acid, HTcO<sub>4</sub>. In this form, the technetium is in the formal +7 oxidation state.</p> <h2 class="d">Reaction of technetium with bases</h2> </main> <div id="footer"><!-- Footer div --> <footer> <div class="footer"> <div class="pure-g"> <div class="pure-u-1-2 pure-u-sm-1-2 pure-u-lg-1-4 pure-menu custom-restricted-width"> <ul class="pure-menu-list"> <li class="pure-menu-heading footer_h">Key properties</li> <li class="pure-menu-item"><a class="pure-menu-link" href="https://www.webelements.com/periodicity/eneg_pauling/">Electronegativity </a></li> <li class="pure-menu-item"><a class="pure-menu-link" href="https://www.webelements.com/periodicity/melting_point/">Melting point</a></li> <li class="pure-menu-item"><a class="pure-menu-link" href="https://www.webelements.com/periodicity/density/">Density </a></li> <li class="pure-menu-item"><a class="pure-menu-link" href="https://www.webelements.com/periodicity/molar_volume/">Molar volume</a></li> <li class="pure-menu-item"><a class="pure-menu-link" href="https://www.webelements.com/periodicity/ionis_energy_1/">Ionization energy (1st)</a></li> <li class="pure-menu-item"><a class="pure-menu-link" href="https://www.webelements.com/periodicity/covalent_radius/">Covalent radius</a></li> <li class="pure-menu-item"><a class="pure-menu-link" href="https://www.webelements.com/periodicity/metallic_radius/">Metallic radius</a></li> <li class="pure-menu-item"><a class="pure-menu-link" href="https://www.webelements.com/periodicity/abund_crust/">Abundance: earth's crust</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="pure-u-1-2 pure-u-sm-1-2 pure-u-lg-1-4 pure-menu custom-restricted-width"> <ul class="pure-menu-list"> <li class="pure-menu-heading footer_h">Shop</li> <li class="pure-menu-item">Sorry, shop closed</li> </ul> </div> <div class="pure-u-1-2 pure-u-sm-1-2 pure-u-lg-1-4 pure-menu custom-restricted-width"> <ul class="pure-menu-list"> <li class="pure-menu-heading footer_h">Social</li> <li class="pure-menu-item"><a class="pure-menu-link" href="https://www.facebook.com/webelements.periodic.table">Facebook</a></li> <li class="pure-menu-item"><a class="pure-menu-link" href="https://twitter.com/periodic_table">Twitter</a></li> <li class="pure-menu-item"><a class="pure-menu-link" href="https://www.pinterest.com/periodictable/">Pinterest</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="pure-u-1-2 pure-u-sm-1-2 pure-u-lg-1-4 pure-menu custom-restricted-width"> <ul class="pure-menu-list"> <li class="pure-menu-heading footer_h">Administration</li> <li class="pure-menu-item"><a class="pure-menu-link" href="https://www.webelements.com/nexus/your-privacy/" title="Your privacy">Privacy</a></li> <li class="pure-menu-item"><a class="pure-menu-link" href="https://www.webelements.com/nexus/about-webelements/" title="About WebElements">About</a></li> <li class="pure-menu-item"><a class="pure-menu-link" href="https://www.webelements.com/nexus/webelements-and-copyright/" title="Copyright information about WebElements">Copyright</a></li> <li class="pure-menu-item"><a class="pure-menu-link" href="https://www.webelements.com/nexus/acknowledgements/" title="Acknowledgements">Thanks...</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <address> <p> <a href="https://www.webelements.com/"><img class="logo_m" src="../_media/icons/logo_60.png" alt="WebElements home" /></a><br /> <strong>WebElements:</strong> THE periodic table on the WWW [<a href="https://www.webelements.com/">www.webelements.com</a>]<br /> <a href="https://www.webelements.com/nexus/webelements-and-copyright/">Copyright </a> 1993-2024 <a href="https://winter.group.shef.ac.uk/">Mark Winter</a> [ <a href="https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/chemistry/">The University of Sheffield </a> and WebElements Ltd, UK].
