  • Ruthenia isn't in the Czech Republic. It's the Latin word for "Rus" - i.e. the area where Slavs live, in modern-day Russia, Ukraine, Belarus etc. It was discovered by an Estonian working in Kazan (Estonia was part of the Russian Empire at the time and he named the element after his homeland).

    P.S. I think that's my thesis eighth from the right... This is better than that time my hand was on the local news.

  • @inesis

    So?

  • i m betting most of these comment are made after watching Nurdrages videos XD

  • @TehSmeely in bleach with NaOH to yield Na2RuO4. It's a nice deep red solution :)

  • @inesis so? chemistry doesnt really work like that.it dissolves in bleach.

  • wise old man

  • Very reactive...not really! This metal cannot be dissolved in aqua regia like gold! 

  • You say ruthenium is reactive but that is not true. It's really unreactive, insoluble in acids I think. You can dissolve it with bleach though.

  • what is matrix isolation?

  • I have to do research about Ruthenium for school project. Can ANYONE please give me information by simply replying to this message? You'd have helped alot. Ty!
