Description:Scandium chloride, with the chemical formula ScCl3, is an inorganic compound that appears as a white or yellowish solid. It is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air, which can lead to the formation of a hydrated form. Scandium chloride is soluble in water and polar solvents, and it can form complexes with various ligands. The compound is typically encountered in its anhydrous form or as a hydrated salt, such as ScCl3·6H2O. Scandium chloride is used in various applications, including as a precursor for scandium metal production, in ceramics, and in the preparation of other scandium compounds. It exhibits ionic bonding characteristics, with scandium in the +3 oxidation state. The compound is generally considered to be non-toxic, but like many metal chlorides, it should be handled with care to avoid irritation to the skin and eyes. In terms of reactivity, it can participate in various chemical reactions typical of metal halides, including hydrolysis and complexation.
