What is platinum?

Pt stands for platinum, a chemical element with the atomic number 78. It is a valuable, dense, malleable, ductile, very inert transition metal that is silver-white. Its name is derived from the Spanish diminutive platina, meaning "silver" in Plata.

In the periodic table of elements, platinum belongs to group 10 and the platinum family of elements. It contains six isotopes that are found naturally. It is one among the less common elements in the crust of the Earth, with an average abundance of just 5 g/kg.

It is found in some native nickel and copper ores, especially in South Africa, which produces 80% of the world's supply. Only a few hundred tonnes are produced each year due to its rarity in the Earth's crust, and considering its significant uses, it is a very valuable and precious metal commodity.
