Three short podcasts about “Scandium”. Listen with the interactive player.

Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning

Narrator: Today's word is "Scandium" — noun, pronounced /ˈskændiəm/, with the stress on "scan".

Narrator: Scandium is a rare silvery-white metal, chemical element number twenty-one, symbol Sc.

Narrator: In plain English, it is a rare light metal.

Narrator: It is named after Scandinavia, where it was discovered in 1879.

Narrator: A common collocation is "scandium alloy", which describes aluminium strengthened with scandium.

Narrator: It differs from "aluminium", because scandium is much rarer and costlier.

Narrator: In a second sense, scandium is used in bike frames and aerospace parts.

Narrator: Chemistry, engineering, aerospace and sport all rely on the word.

Narrator: So remember: scandium is rare, light and strong.
