Osmium (frae Greek osme (ὀσμή) meanin "smell") is a chemical element wi the seembol Os an atomic nummer 76. It is a haird, brickle, blaeish-white transeetion metal in the platinum faimily an is the densest naiturally occurrin element, wi a density o 22.59 g/cm3. It is foond as a trace element in alloys, maistly in platinum ores. Its alloys wi platinum, iridium, an ither platinum group metals are employed in fountain pen tips, electrical contacts, an ither applications whaur extreme durability an hairdness are needit.[3]
