The radioactivity in MBq per gram of each of the platinum group metals which are formed by the fission of uranium. Of the metals shown, ruthenium is the most radioactive. Palladium has an almost constant activity, due to the very long half-life of the synthesized 107 Pd, while rhodium is the least radioactive.

Gold nugget A selection of precious metal elements; gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper, ruthenium, rhodium, rhenium, osmium, iridium and mercury. They are labeled and arranged by their location on the periodic table. Precious metals are rare, naturally occurring metallic chemical elements of high economic value.
Gold is strongly attacked by fluorine at dull-red heat [7] to form gold(III) fluoride AuF 3. Powdered gold reacts with chlorine at 180 °C to form gold(III) chloride AuCl 3. [8] Gold reacts with bromine at 140 °C to form gold(III) bromide AuBr 3, but reacts only very slowly with iodine to form gold(I) iodide AuI. [9]
According to the World Gold Council, central banks purchased a record 483 tons of gold in the first half of the year. Central banks from Turkey, India, and China topped the list of the biggest buyers.
The standard way to invest in gold is to purchase gold bullion, which typically comes in the form of minted gold bars or rounds — CBS appears to have used the wrong term for rounds. Bullion ...
