Iridium (Ir) is a hard, lustrous, and incredibly dense metal that belongs to the Platinum Group Metals (PGMs). It is the most corrosion-resistant metal known, even at high temperatures, and is considered one of the rarest elements in the Earth’s crust.
Iridium is found in the 9th group, 6th period of the periodic table, bearing the atomic number 77. It has two naturally occurring isotopes, ^191Ir and ^193Ir, both of which are stable. Iridium forms compounds in various oxidation states, notably +1, +3, and +4, with +3 being the most common.
The metal is mostly obtained as a by-product of nickel and platinum mining. Being highly resistant to wear, it is often alloyed with other metals for applications that require durability and stability.
