My Nucleus

Platinum with Eric Gee - Chemistry with Mr. Olson

The Ammount of Protons i have is 78. The ammount of Electrons i have in my neutral state is 78. I have 5 stable isotopes and one unstable isotope. My unstable one is Pt-190 with a half life of about 6 Billion years. My average atomic mass would be 195.084 g/mol.

My Electrons

Platinum - Chemistry with Mr. Olson

As PLatinum i have 78 electrons in my Neutral form. my electron configuration is [Xe].4f14.5d9.6s1. I have 1 valence elctron so that when i become an ion i like to lose that transfer that electron and become a cation.


My Properties

I Am Platinum, Pt and my Atomic Number is 78 with an Atomic Mass of 195.084 g/mol. I am one of the few Nobel Metals in the Transition Metals. At room temperature i appear as a solid but i become a liquid at 2041.4 K
(1768.3°C, 3214.9°F) and a gas at 4098 K
(3825 °C, 6917 °F). My density is 21.45 g·cm−3. I appear typically in a white or greyish shade.

My Home
(Body, Planet, Universe)


I am a pretty elusive metal. I do not occur in the human body, I am only found at 5 parts per billion in the whole world. I am found scarcly through several parts of the world including South Africa, Columbia, Ontario, the Ural Mountains and in certain western American states.

I am Element!

I was one of the few elements discovered long ago and this was my alchemic symbol.
