2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Platinum is the rarest metal from the Precious metal categories..
Commercially Platinum is produced as a byproduct in ores of nickel.

Molybdenum is highly reactive metal, hence not found free in nature .
Till 18th century Molybdenum element were often mistaken as a carbon or Lead.
