IRIDIUM
COMPOUNDS (Ir)
MATERIAL
OVERVIEW
Characteristics: Silver-white. Low ductility. Does not tarnish in
air. On heating strongly, a slightly volatile oxide is
formed. Insoluble in acid, slowly soluble in aqua
regia and in fused alkalies. Most corrosion-resistant
element, modulus of elasticity is one of the highest.
Highly resistant to chemical attack. Toxicity is
probably low.
