When platinum metals or Platinum Group Metals , in English also Platinum Group Metals ( PGM ) or Platinum Group Elements ( PGE ), called the elements of Groups 8 to 10 of the 5th period (the "light platinum metals" are: ruthenium (Ru) , rhodium (Rh ) , Palladium (Pd) ) and the 6th period (the "heavy platinum metals": osmium (Os) , iridium (Ir) , platinum (Pt) ). All platinum metals are precious metals and have high densitiesand similar chemical properties; they are a by-product of nickel and copper production.

Platinum group (obsolete)

The term platinum group is occasionally used for the six elements mentioned, although this is also used elsewhere for the 10th group of the periodic table of the elements with the elements nickel , palladium and platinum , generally the nickel group . In 1971, Holleman-Wiberg defined the platinum group as consisting only of the two elements palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt) . The term platinum group is considered out of date.
