-
Platinum is a chemical element with the chemical symbol Pt and an atomic number of
78.
-
Platinum has an
atomic weight of 195.23, which gives it a density almost as great as
gold.
-
Platinum
appears silver-white and firm.
-
Platinum has a melting point of 2041.55 K (1768.4°C or
3215.1°F), boiling point of
4098 K (3825°C or
6917°F), specific gravity of
21.45 (20 °C).
-
Platinum is often called the “most precious
metal” or the “rarest of the precious metals”.
-
Platinum is a soft, dense, ductile metal
that is very resistant to corrosion.
-
Platinum is
considered to be non-toxic.
-
Platinum is
a relatively rare, chemically inert, metallic element that is more
valuable than gold.
-
In jewelry,
typically 5% other metals are added to the platinum to make an alloy
soft enough to set precious stones securely in the jewelry
settings.
-
Platinum
nanoparticles provide a route for the development of catalysts that use
less platinum without sacrificing catalytic performance.
-
Platinum is
the most important of the group of elements called the platinum metals,
the other members of which are ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium,
and iridium.
-
Platinum
is used in a variety of medical devices to treat heart disease, stroke,
neurological disorders, chronic pain, and other life threatening
conditions.
-
Common use for
platinum is in the creation of autocatalysis for motor
vehicles.
-
Platinum has become an
important industrial metal.
-
As technology
improves, platinum is finding a growing role in the electronics
industry.
-
Platinum is
mined in a similar way to gold and is found in only a few places
worldwide, including South Africa, Russia, and Canada. Currently, South
Africa produces the largest amount of platinum with roughly 80% . |
