Technetium is an artificial, synthetic chemical element of the periodic table. It is considered a transition metal, a classification that includes nine different groups and elements such as titanium, zinc, and gold. Transition metals typically form colored compounds and have strong valence, or the ability of an atom to connect chemically to another atom. Technetium was the first artificial element to be created.
