This is a transition metal. This is a metal of the platinum family and it is the most corrosion-resistant metal known. It is used in the production of the alloys with osmium and platinum and in the production of crucibles and devices requiring high temperatures.
This is a non-metal and it is a structural element of all biomolecules and living beings. Three naturally occurring allotropes of this element are known to exist: amorphous, graphite and diamond.
This element is a noble gas which is gas at room temperature. It is characterized by its brilliant green and orange spectral lines. This noble gas is used in fluorescent light bulbs, luminous signs, high-speed photography.
