Darmstadtium has not been isolated in pure form, and its properties have not been conclusively observed; only nickel, palladium, and platinum have had their properties experimentally confirmed. Nickel, platinum, and palladium are typically silvery-white transition metals, and can also be readily obtained in powdered form.<ref name=":2">{{Cite book |last1=Greenwood |first1=N.

Group 10 elements are resistant to tarnish ([[oxidation]]) at [[Standard temperature and pressure|STP]], are [[refractory]], and have high melting and boiling points.
