The precious metals that comprise the platinum group metals (PGM) are platinum (symbol Pt), palladium (Pd), rhodium (Rh), ruthenium (Ru), iridium (Ir), and osmium (Os). They are classified under one heading due to their similar chemical and physical properties and because they are often found together in nature. PGM are dubbed the noble metals as a result of their superior ability to withstand oxidation and corrosion. 9, record 1, English, - platinum%20group%20metals
