Platinum is a chemical element with the chemical symbol Pt and an atomic number of 78.
The main group elements are groups 1, 2, and 13 - 18.
main group elements
Group 18 (Noble Gases) contains the largest main group elements because they have the highest atomic numbers and largest atomic radii among the main group elements.
Groups 1, 2, and 13 - 18 are the main group elements, also called the representative elements.
Palladium is in the nickel family (group 10).
the noble gases
The element with an atomic mass of 106.42 is palladium (Pd) in its most common stable form. Palladium is a lustrous silver-white metal that belongs to the platinum group of metals. It is widely used in catalytic converters, jewelry making, and electronics.

all elements that are not main group elements are metals, and since rhenium is not a main group element, it is a metal. Hope this helped!
Palladium is in group ten and is a transition metal.
