The platinum used in such objects was not the pure element, but rather a naturally occurring mixture of the platinum group metals, with small amounts of palladium, rhodium, and iridium.

In 1809, chemists suggested that the gas might be a pure element, and this was confirmed by Sir Humphry Davy in 1810, who named it from based on its colour.
33.
Since he was able to recreate the same metal that he started with, he obviously did not break the metal down into the pure elements, but instead into some intermediate phases.
34.
He argued that using such terminology implies that there is " a pure element " to religion " which is in some way transformed, even contaminated, by its exposure to human communities ".
35.
Each of these pure elements has two of the four basic qualities : earth is cold and dry, water is cold and humid, air is hot and humid and fire is hot and dry.
36.
"' White tin "'may also refer specifically to ?-tin, the metallic allotrope of the pure element, as opposed to the nonmetallic allotrope ?-tin, known as " gray tin ", which occurs at temperatures below.
37.
A specific chemical shift is the difference in BE values of one specific chemical state versus the BE of one form of the pure element, or of a particular agreed-upon chemical state of that element.
38.
As an example of the care Richards used in his work, Emsley reports that he carried out 15, 000 recrystallizations of thulium bromate in order to obtain the pure element thulium for an atomic weight measurement.
39.
On the other hand, the chlorine gas goes from an oxidation of 0 ( it is also a pure element ) to " 1 : the chlorine gains one electron and is said to have been reduced.
40.
In the reaction, sodium metal goes from an oxidation state of 0 ( as it is a pure element ) to + 1 : in other words, the sodium lost one electron and is said to have been oxidized.
