History

NamePlatinumRhenium
HistoryThe element Platinum was discovered by A. de Ulloa in year 1748 in Peru. Platinum derived its name from the Spanish platina, meaning 'little silver'.The element Rhenium was discovered by M. Ogawa in year 1908 in Germany. Rhenium derived its name from Rhenus, the Latin name for the river Rhine.
