Persistence Glowness of Platinum metal after heating

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the phenomenon of persistent glowness observed in platinum metal after it has been heated and subsequently removed from a flame. Participants seek to understand the underlying reasons for this behavior, exploring both the physical and chemical aspects involved.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants inquire about the fundamental reasons for the glowing of platinum after heating, suggesting a need for clarification on the physical processes involved.
  • One participant specifically mentions a scenario involving a platinum wire heated in a Bunsen burner, indicating a practical context for the discussion.
  • Another participant questions the initial phrasing of the inquiry, implying that the formulation of the question may lack clarity or precision.
  • There is an emphasis on understanding the conditions under which platinum exhibits this glowing behavior, with participants seeking a more detailed explanation.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not appear to reach a consensus, as participants express varying levels of clarity regarding the initial question and the reasons for the observed phenomenon. Multiple viewpoints and inquiries remain present without resolution.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about the physical properties of platinum and the conditions of heating may not be explicitly stated, which could affect the understanding of the phenomenon discussed.

Please elaborate - your question as posted doesn't make much sense.
 
I want to say " A platinum wire is heated in Bunsen burner and it is found to glow after removing the Platinum wire from the flame. Why?"
 
First of all - WHY does it glow?
