.Physical Properties
Osmium is a bluish-white, shiny metal with a melting point of
about 3,000°C (5,400°F) and a boiling point of about 5,500°C
(9,900°F). Its density is 22.5 grams per cubic centimeter. These
numbers are the highest of any platinum metal. They are also
among the highest of all elements.
Osmium is unworkable as a metal. It cannot be melted and
shaped like most metals. Because it is unworkable, it has very
few practical uses.
