T…. Introduction: Platinum was discovered in 1735 in South America by Antonio de Ulloa and can be found naturally occurring with small quantities of iridium, osmium, palladium, and rhodium. It is one of the rarest of elements with an abundance about 10 parts per billion in the Earth's crust. The name platinum derives from the Spanish platina meaning "little silver". It is a beautiful silvery-white metal and has some very useful properties. It is hard and extremely dense, (platinum is nearly twice as dense as lead!). It has a high melting point Fri, 23 Mar 2007 02:00:57 GMT http://www.scribd.com/doc/16612/Student-Report-Platinum-and-its-Properties http://www.scribd.com/doc/16606/My-Rant-Cat-ran-across-the-road-and-got-himself-killed-but-thats-OK Cat ran across the road and got himself killed, but that’s OK he wanted to go to heaven anyway.

Now Terry just ended up at the gates of heaven as soon as cat had devoured Terry’s tail but that’s beside the point. Our cat was satisfied and he licked his whiskers and purred with delight, sadly it d Fri, 23 Mar 2007 01:36:16 GMT http://www.scribd.com/doc/16606/My-Rant-Cat-ran-across-the-road-and-got-himself-killed-but-thats-OK
