Rhodium
A rare silvery-white, hard transition metal, Rhodium is a member of the platinum group. It has a higher melting point than platinum, but a lower density.

It is alloyed with platinum and palladium in electrodes for spark plugs, advanced laboratory equipment and in thermocouples. Rhodium compounds have catalytic uses in automotive catalytic converters.
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                       
Ruthenium
A rare transition metal, Ruthenium is a member of the platinum group. Due to its ability to harden platinum and palladium, ruthenium is used in platinum and palladium alloys to make wear-resistant electrical contacts.

The corrosion resistance of titanium is improved a hundredfold by addition of 0.1% ruthenium. It is also a versatile catalyst and finds use in pharmaceutical industry
.
                                                                                                                     
Iridium
 Iridium is the second densest element and is the most corrosion-resistant metal, even at temperatures as high as 2000 °C. It does not react with any acid and can only be attacked by certain molten salts, such as molten sodium chloride.

It is alloyed with platinum to produce highly corrosive resistant electrical contacts for spark plugs. It is used for electrochemical applications such as electrodes for the chloralkali process, for catalysis and others.

                                                                                                                     
Palladium
A rare and lustrous silvery-white metal, Palladium , along with platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium and osmium form a group of elements referred to as the platinum group metals (PGMs). The metal is used in dentistry, watch making, and in making surgical instruments and electrical contacts.

Palladium(II) chloride is able to rapidly stain stainless steel and is sometimes used in carbon monoxide detectors.

                                                                                                                     
Osmium
Osmium is an extremely dense, blue-grey, hard but brittle metal that remains lustrous even at high temperatures.

Osmium alloys such as osmiridium are very hard and, along with other platinum group metals, are almost exclusively used in alloys employed in the tips of fountain pens, instrument pivots, and electrical contacts, as they can resist wear from frequent use.

                                                                                                                     
Neodymium
A bright, silvery metallic luster; Neodymium is one of the more reactive rare earth (Lanthanide) metals, it quickly oxidizes in air.

Neodymium salts are used as a colourant for enamels. Primary applications include lasers, glass coloring and tinting, dielectrics and for neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnets. Neodymium is useful in protective lenses for welding goggles. It is also used in CRT displays to enhance contrast between reds and greens and highly valued in glass manufacturing for its attractive purple coloring.

                                                                                                                     
Uranium
A weakly radioactive metal, it is slightly softer than steel, strongly electropositive. It is malleable, ductile, and slightly paramagnetic having very high density,

Uranium salts, such as Uranyl Nitrate and Uranyl Acetate are used in medical and analytical laboratories. Uraniums great density has found military applications in armor piercing armaments and in protective shielding.

                                                                                                                     
Praseodymium
A metal in the lanthanoid group, it is more resistant to corrosion in air.

It is highly valued in glass and ceramic production as a bright yellow pigment because of its optimum reflectance at 560 nm. Much research is being done on its optical properties for use in amplification of telecommunication systems, including as a doping agent in fluoride fibers. It is also used in the scintillator for medical CAT scans.
