Other Information

Platinum is an extremely unreactive (it is found in its native state) chemical element. It is a catalyst for several reactions (such as the hydrogen half-cell), and is used in catalytic converters and in the synthesis of nitric acid. In addition the element can "absorb both oxygen and hydrogen."^[1] The element was first recognized in 1751, although it was used by the Incas before the Spanish arrived in South America.^[2]

It is also considered a precious metal, with a per ounce price exceeding that of gold.

This newly discovered metal was heavier than gold and virtually impossible to corrode with gases or chemicals, and in 1751, platinum was recognized as a newly discovered element.”
