Dawb ci ci ntsej muag-centered cubic qauv hlau, mos, ductility thib ob tsuas yog kub, yog ib qho zoo heev conductor ntawm tshav kub thiab hluav taws xob; tsis hnov ​​​​tsw nrog dej thiab atmospheric oxygen, thiab tig dub thaum raug ozone, hydrogen sulfide thiab sulfur; Nws yog inert rau feem ntau cov kua qaub thiab tuaj yeem yaj sai sai hauv dilute nitric acid thiab kub concentrated sulfuric acid. Hydrochloric acid tuaj yeem corrode saum npoo thiab yaj hauv molten alkali hydroxide, peroxide alkali thiab alkali cyanide nyob rau hauv huab cua los yog nyob rau hauv lub xub ntiag ntawm oxygen; Feem ntau cov ntsev ntsev yog rhiab rau lub teeb thiab yog insoluble nyob rau hauv ntau acids.
