Rhodium﻿﻿ (Rh)


Rhodium is a silvery white metal, similar to platinum.



Rhodium was discovered by William Hyde Wollaston in South America, between 1803 and 1804, and at first it was presumed that it was a crude form of platinum.Rhodium is classified as a metal, and it differs from platinum in several ways; it is more durable, has a higher melting point, and is less common. Rhodium is found throughout North and South America. It costs about $2080 for 1 oz.It is used in some jewelery due to its durability, but is very expensive, so it isn't very common.
