So this is a sample of osmium. Osmium, again, is a preciousmetal, platinum-group metal, and this is an osmium spongewhich is very nicely packaged up in this box. So let’s have alook and see if we can find it.So osmium is another one of the elements in the so-called‘platinum group’ and it is quite unusual in that its oxide –osmium tetroxide is a stable compound which is really quiteeasily evaporated. It has quite a strong smell which is unusualfor metal compounds and it can be evaporated quite easilyand it is used in organic chemistry because if you havecompounds with double bonds between two carbon atoms,osmium tetroxide reacts with it really quite easily.So here the osmium itself, it is a very, very reactive metal, itis sealed in this glass ampule under a...
