New page

The '''platinum group metals''' (or '''PGMs''') is the name given to the metals from the groups 8, 9 and 10, periods 5 and 6 of the periodic table.

Other names used are '''platinum group''', '''platinum metals''', '''platinum family''', '''platinoids''', '''platinides''', '''platidises''', or '''platinum-group elements''' ('''PGEs''').

The metals are:

*[[Ruthenium]]
*[[Rhodium]]
*[[Palladium]]
*[[Osmium]]
*[[Iridium]]
*[[Platinum]]

All these metals have similar chemical properties and tend to occur together in the same mineral. Their physical properties differ slightly, such as density (the metals from the period 6 are almost twice as dense as those from the period 5), and while all are silvery-white in color, osmium tends to have a blueish cast.
