Used to tip gold pen points, compass needles and clock bearings, electric light filaments and in metal alloys for high temperature uses
Osmium is a metal with a blue-gray appearance.
From Greek osmē, smell (from the strong odor of osmium tetroxide).Named osmium after http://www.answers.com/topic/greek-language osme meaning "a smell", because of the smell of the volatile osmium tetroxide
Smithson Tennant (in 1803) discovered and first isolated osmium.
Osmium oxide is volatile and very toxic and so osmium is rarely used in its pure form. However, it is often used in alloys to produce very hard-wearing products. Nibs for fountain pens are a typical household item.
Osmium is a shiny, silvery metal with a metallic luster.
Osmium
Osmium is a chemical element that has the symbol Os and atomic number 76. So it is made of itself.Individual atoms are, as usual made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons and neutrons are made up of quarks.That aside, see the first paragraph in this answer.
Osmium is a dense, bluish-silver metal that is part of the platinum group of elements. Objects made from osmium, such as specialized instruments, fountain pen nibs, and electrical contacts, leverage its hardness and resistance to wear. Due to its rarity and high density, osmium is often used in applications where durability and precision are crucial. However, it can also form osmium tetroxide, a toxic compound, so handling osmium requires caution.
