PLatinum is an element with 78 protons. Platinum is a dense, malleable, ductile, precious, gray-white transition metal. It is also called as Noble Metal. Platinum is the rarest mineral on earth also. It has 78 protons.
The earliest known use of platinum dates back to 7th Century BC, when it was used to craft caskets in Egypt. Its use for this purpose shows that even the earliest civilizations valued platinum as an important and precious metal. Today, platinum is one of the most demanded metals in the bridal market. It's popularity is beginning to surpass white and yellow gold in engagement rings, and is growing increasingly favoured as the metal for both men's and lady's wedding bands. But what is it about platinum that makes it so popular, and also so expensive? Platinum is very popular because of its many advantages. Unlike white gold, which has to be rhodium plated to achieve its brilliant white shine, platinum is a naturally white metal that will never require re-plating. Platinum is also a little harder wearing than gold, making it less susceptible to, though not completely impervious to, the signs of everyday wear and tear. There are three reasons why platinum jewelry is relatively expensive as compared to gold or white gold jewelry. The metal platinum is a more expensive metal than gold as it's a more rare metal and there are difficulties involved with mining it, which also adds to its price. Platinum is also used in a much higher concentrations in jewelry than the proportion of gold used in jewelry. The platinum alloy used in jewelry consists of 85% to 95% platinum, that's 850 to 950 parts platinum for every thousand parts. Gold jewelry conversely generally uses a maximum of 75% or 750 parts gold per thousand parts for 18ct jewelry, or less gold for 14ct, 10ct or 9ct jewelry. Whilst traditionally platinum was mixed with an alloy of gold, it is now combined with another member of the platinum family such as palladium or iridium which helps to retain its whiteness. Palladium is also more expensive than gold and it has a metal price more comparable with platinum than gold. This change in alloy mix has also contributed to raising the price of platinum. Platinum is also a denser heavier metal than gold, making a ring design made in platinum heavier than the same ring design made in 18ct gold. As the metal price is calculated based on gram weight, this density or heaviness, also contributes to making platinum more expensive than 18ct gold.
I think you should have a ghost Pokemon that is 3 lvls higher than Fantina's and have a Physic Pokemon like alakazam.
no its just a lv 60 or higher magikarp. its not special.
Stunky isn't exclusive in Pokemon Platinum: Misdreavus, Murkrow, Glameow, and Stunky are NOT in Pokemon Platinum. you are wrong they all are in platuinm actually... they are not in platinum meaning you cannot catch them in platinum but you must trade them from diamond or pearl to get them in platinum. =)
No, lead is heavier than platinum. Lead has a higher density and atomic weight compared to platinum.
Yes, platinum is heavier than gold. Platinum has a higher density than gold, which means that a given volume of platinum will weigh more than the same volume of gold.
Platinum is generally worth more than uranium. Platinum is a precious metal with various industrial and jewelry applications, while uranium is primarily used in nuclear power generation. The current market price of platinum is higher than that of uranium.
No, by weight, a diamond has higher value than platinum.
Because gold is easier to find. On top of that there are more industrial uses for platinum than for gold.
I am pretty sure a silver record is 100,000 or 250,000 sold...Gold is 500,000 sold and platinum is 1,000,000 sold
Yes, the price for Tc-99 is higher.
No, platinum will not sink in mercury because platinum is denser than mercury. Platinum has a density of 21.45 g/cm³, whereas mercury has a density of 13.53 g/cm³. Objects sink in fluids when their density is greater than that of the fluid, so platinum would actually float on the surface of mercury.
Platinum has higher cost/ values than gold if you are limiting yourself to just precious metals used in jewelry. Currently 1594/oz Platinum. Gold is 1589/oz. as of 2/25/13.
Yes, platinum is a precious metal with recent values about 20% higher than the same weight of gold.
Yes, titanium is generally less expensive than platinum. Platinum is a rarer and denser metal, making it more costly than titanium which is more abundant and lighter in weight. Additionally, the cost of crafting jewelry with platinum is higher due to its difficulty in working with.
No. the density of platinum is 21.456 g/ml, which is much higher than the 1 g/ml density of water.
