Mineral Species sorted by the element Pt Platinum (original) (raw)
Platinum (Pt) Element Properties
Atomic Mass | 195.08 |
---|---|
Atomic Number | 78 |
Name Origins | Spanish, platina = "silver." |
Year Discovered | 1750 |
Discovery Credits | Known to pre-Columbian South Americans and taken to Europe about 1790. |
Remarks | Silvery-white metal, lustrous, malleable, ductile. Unaffected by oxygen and water, only dissolves in aqua-regia and fused alkalis. Used in jewelry, drugs, catalysts, etc.Diagnostic tests: There are no simple chemical tests for platinum. The element is usually found as an alloy or a sulfide mineral with other platinum group metals. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy is used for quantitative analysis and Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-rays (EDAX) is used for qualitative analysis. |
