Periodic table group
Group 10
Group 10 is a vertical column of the periodic table containing Nickel, Palladium, Platinum, Darmstadtium. Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons, which is why they show related chemical behavior. A d-block transition metal group headed by nickel. Palladium and platinum below it are standout catalysts, and all three resist corrosion well.
