The name of my element is Platinum, and it's symbol is Pt
Julius Caesar was the first person to write about Platinum, and
he name by which the element was known to Central and South Americans was retained as its official chemical name.
Platinum is found as native metal, natural alloys, and as compounds with sulfur and arsenic.
The element is important because without it, we could not make certain products such as fertilizers and plastics.
It is used to make different materials.
Structure/Periodic Table Information
It's atomic number is 78
It's average atomic mass is 195.08
Platinum is found in group 10 on the periodic table
It is classified with a group of similar metals, including ruthenium, rhodium,palladium, osmium, and iridium, with similar properties
Physical Properties Platinum is normally silver, it has no odor, and has a melting point of about 3,223°F.
Chemical Properties
Platinum is a relatively inactive metal that does not corrode or tarnish in air, Platinum also dissolves in hot alkalis such as hot sodiumhydroxide or potassium hydroxide.
An unusual property of platinum is that, in powdered form, it tends to absorb large quantities of hydrogen gas. Platinum is a relatively inactive metal that does not corrode or tarnish in air. It is not attacked by most acids, although it does dissolve in aqua regia.
An unusual property of platinum is that, in powdered form, it tends to absorb large quantities of hydrogen gas.
Gold is chemically similar to Platinum.
