Interesting Facts
- Osmium metal does not oxidize in air unless it is heated.
- But if it heated den it forms Osmium Tetroxide, which is highly toxic.
Darmstadtium is a synthetic element that is highly radioactive.

Uses & Benefits
- Its has very limited uses and its alloys are very hard and are used in the manufacturing of pen tips, pivots, needles and electrical contacts.
-
It is also used as industrial catalyst to speed up the chemical reaction.
- Currently known uses of Darmstadtium metal are limited to research purpose only. As only few atoms of this metal are produced.
