2022: ☢️ Density of Platinum (Pt) [& g/cm3, kg/m3, Uses, Sources ...

Everything has mass and volume, and therefore density. So it is expected that the smallest piece of matter, like an atom of Platinum has it too. But what is the density of an atom of Pt?

Note: Learn more about the density here.

In the case of Platinum , density is 21.45 g/cm³. However, there are interesting facts about Platinum that most don't know about. Also check the kg/m³ conversion...

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Density of Platinum (Pt) [& g/cm3, kg/m3, Uses, Sources ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
