Osmium is a hard, blue-gray, transition metal found in trace amounts in platinum ores. With a density of 22.61 g/cm3, osmium is the densest natural element and nearly twice as dense as lead. With a melting point of 3,030°C (5,486°F), osmium is one of the six elemental solid metals at room temperature along with iridium, platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, and gold.

Properties and Characteristics of Osmium


Osmium has a hexagonal close-packed crystalline structure and it is highly corrosion resistant. Compared to other precious metals like platinum, osmium is chemically less reactive.

Some key properties and characteristics of osmium include:


- Density: At 22.61 g/cm3, osmium has the highest known density of any stable element on Earth. This high density makes it useful in mechanical applications that require extremely hard yet wear-resistant materials.
