Ichena inopenya kumeso-yapakati cubic chimiro simbi, yakapfava, ductility yechipiri chete kune goridhe, yakanaka conductor yekupisa nemagetsi; haina kuita nemvura uye okisijeni yemuchadenga, uye inoshanduka dema kana yaiswa kune ozone, hydrogen sulfide uye sulfur; Iyo inert kune akawanda asidhi uye inogona kukurumidza kunyungudika mu dilute nitric acid uye inopisa concentrated sulfuric acid. Hydrochloric acid inogona kukanganisa pamusoro uye kunyunguduka mualkali hydroxide yakanyungudutswa, peroxide alkali uye alkali cyanide mumhepo kana pamberi peokisijeni; Mazhinji emunyu esirivha anonzwira kuchiedza uye haanyunguriki mumaasidhi akawanda.
