From Hydrogen to Tellurium - Rhodium

Rhodium Rh at number 45 is another slivery white transition metal. It is also in the platinum group.My research tells me that it is used in alloys, jewellery, In electrical applications and as a catalyst. Rhodium is extracted from ore by industry. It is not present in the human body and though the metal itself is not toxic many rhodium compounds are toxic amdalso cause cancer.
