Question

Starting with the rarest put the following metals in order by their availability

1. Gallium
2. Rhenium
3. iridium
4. Rhodium

Answer 1

1. Rhodium. This metal is rare because of its extremely high melting point, reflective properties and amazing ability to withstand corrosion.

2. Iridium. This metal is the most extreme member of the platinum group, this whitish metal has a super high melting point, stands as the most corrosion resistant metal and is one of the densest elements around.

3. Rhenium. This metal is another one of the most densest metals and it has the third highest melting point.

4.gallium. This metal has a melting point of 85.58C and is extremely dense.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Rhodium
2. Iridium
3. Rhenium
4. Gallium

Explanation:

A brief introduction to these rarest metals.

Rhodium:

Rhodium is a chemical element with symbol Rh. it is a rare silvery, white, hard and chemically inter transition metal. It is a member of the platinum group. it is considered as the most valuable precious metal in the world.

Iridium:

Iridium is a chemical element with symbol Ir. Iridium is used in making crucibles and other equipment that is used at high temperature.  it is also using in spark plugs because of its high melting point and has low toxicity.  

Rhenium:

Rhenium is a chemical metal with symbol Re. The most common commercial use of Rhenium is in the alloys that make up jets. Rhenium is less reactive to air than magnesium, which is two places above Rhenium in the periodic table.

Gallium:

Gallium is a chemical element with symbol Ga. Element gallium is a soft, silvery blue metal at standard temperature and pressure. Gallium is used to produce solid -state items like transistors and light emitting diodes.
