Ruthenium it is, and spelled correctly. I must confess that I have a a particular reason for knowledge about Osmium and Ruthenium as my PhD. work was synthesizing, characterizing, and testing as catalysts organo-metallic cluster compounds of Ru and Os. I can name elements form their symbols though as long as lanthanides and some of the most recently produced trans-uranium elements are avoided.
