The conversion factor you need for this problem is Avogadro's number.
(6.02 x 1023 atoms scandium/1 mole scandium) = 1
... OR ...
(1 mole scandium/6.02 x 1023 atoms scandium) = 1
Since you want to end up in units of moles of Sc, this goes in the numerator (on top). You want to convert from atoms Sc, so this goes in the denominator (on the bottom).

You add together the number of neutrons and protons in a scandium atoms. For a more precise measure, you average these numbers across the various isotopes of scandium, weighted in proportion to their abundance. To get an even more accurate answer you would need to make an adjustment for the amount of matter which is converted into the binding energy which holds these nucleons together.
The reciprocal of Avogadro's Number. This is usually expressed as dividing the number of atoms by Avogadro's Number.
Atomic weight of scandium is 44,955 908(5) a.m.u.
The relative atomic masses are:calcium: 40.078 scandium: 44.956 titanium: 47.867
The first transition metal is scandium, Sc, with atomic number 21.
Scandium 49 has 24 protons because it is scandium (which has an atomic number of 21) plus 28 neutrons.
The atomic number of scandium is 21. So it has 21 protons and 21 electrons. Number of neutrons depends on the isotope. Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number Sc-45 isotope has 24 neutrons
The atomic mass of scandium is 44.9559 AMU (atomic mass unit)
Scandium is a metal element. Atomic mass of it is 44.95.
Scandium is a meta element. Atomic mass of it is 45. Atomic number of it is 21.

Scandium is the smallest d-block element which in the past also made it the smallest transition metal. However, using the accepted modern definition of a transition metal: 'a transition metal is one which forms one or more stable ions which have incompletely filled d orbitals' scandium would not count as a transition metal, as it always forms 3+ ions with no d-electrons. Using this definition, the smallest transition metal would therefore be titanium.
