Five Metals

Metalsusually are hard, dense conductors, often exhibiting a shiny metallic luster.Metallic elementsreadily lose electrons to form positive ions. Except for mercury, metals are solids at room temperature and pressure. Examples include:

ironuraniumsodiumaluminumcalcium

Metals' uses are directly linked to their qualities. For example:

Shiny metals such as copper, silver, and gold are often used for decorative arts, jewelry, and coins.Strong metals such as iron and metal alloys such as stainless steel are used to build structures, ships, and vehicles such as cars, trains, and trucks.Some metals have specific qualities that dictate their use. For example, copper is a good choice for wiring because it is particularly good for conducting electricity. Tungsten is used for the filaments of light bulbs because it glows white hot without melting.
