About Platinum (Pt)

Symbol: Pt
Atomic number: 78
Atomic weight: 195.084
Element category: transition metal
Platinum is a lustrous, silvery-white, dense, malleable, ductile metal. It is a member of the platinum group of elements and group 10 of the periodic table. Platinum has the third-highest density and is the least reactive metal, making it as resistant to corrosion as gold.
Platinum is primarily used in catalytic converters for vehicles. In the chemical industry, platinum often acts as a catalyst. It is also widely used to manufacture laboratory vessels due to its excellent corrosion resistance. Platinum Wire is utilised in high-temperature electric furnaces.
