    Lead

    one of the most common uses of lead is in the automobile industry; in bullets and shot; construction for roofing materials; as a radiation shield; it is also the most common material used in fishing sinkers
  • Arsenic
    Oct 16, 1250

    Arsenic

    the main use is for strengthening alloys of cooper and lead to use in car batteries; it has been used as a wood preserver; it is added to animal food to prevent disease and to promote growth
  • Zinc
    Oct 16, 1500

    Zinc

    is used to form numerous allays including brass, bronze nickel silver solder ;to galvanize other metals to prevent corrosion
  • Antimony

    Antimony

    flame retardants. plastic stabilizers. catalips ceramics and glasses are some of the main area of antimony uses
  • Phosphorus

    Phosphorus

    us as a red tip of a lighhling match, in fertilizers for grass, pesticides to kill bugs and to make glove sticks
  • Platinum

    Platinum

    commonly used in jewelry; tos eal electrodes inside of glass; when mixed with cobalt permanent get a strong permanent magnet
  • Nickel

    Nickel

    electric guitar strings, magnets, rechargeable batteries, computer hard drives; many parts of the world in coins; in science laboratory is typically used as a catalyst for a hydrogenation reaction
  • Nitrogen

    Nitrogen

    used to preseve packaged foods by stopping the oxidation of foods which causes it to go of
    to produce many electrical parts such as transistors dides and integrated circuits
    is a compnent of nearly every pharmacological drug
  • Oxygen

    Oxygen

    is important for human respiration
    also as a step in the production of antifreeze and polyester polymers
    to treat water
  • Chlorine

    Chlorine

    to kill bacteria in drinking water and swimming pool
    in desinfectans and bleach
    is very effectly against e-coli bacteria
  • Alumunium

    Alumunium

    one of the most common uses in ppacking incluiding drinks cans, foil wrapping bottle tops and foil containers
  • Fluorine

    Fluorine

    to obtain pure uranium
    most general anesthetics are derived from compounds of fluorine compounds of fluorine are used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems
  • Argon

    Argon

    used in graphite electric burners to prevent from burning
    can be used to preserve paint, varnish and similar things for storage after opening
    scuba divers use argon to inflate a dry suit
  • Helium

    Helium

    the largest use of helium is in cryogenics
    also commonly used to pressurize and purge systems of unwanted gases
    in solar telescopes to reduce the distortion caused by temperature fluctuations in between the lenses
  • Krypton

    Krypton

    in the production and usage of the krypton fluoride laser which is being used in research for nuclear fusion
    also suitable for use in high powered laser shows
    a isotope of krypton is used in medical scans (MRI) of the airways
  • Neon

    Neon

    Use in advertasing sing
    in vacuum tubes,high voltage indicators ,waves meter and television tubes, helium neon lasers
  • Polonium

    Polonium

    there are restricted uses of this element
    present in devices used for the elimination of static electricity in various machines
    the brushes that are used for cleaning up accumulated dust particles from camera lenses and photographic films have polonium 210 in them
  • Radium

    Radium

    has been used to produce: neutron sources, luminous paints medicl radioisotopes
  • Actinium

    Actinium

    mainly used for thermoelectric power as a source for neutrons for many gaseous liquid and solid compounds
  • Radom

    Radom

    used for treatment of cancer
    in the production of neutrons for research
    in seismology is used to help predict earthquakes and find underground faults
  • Francium

    Francium

    is such a rare element it isnt typically used for anything
    it has been used in the past in the biological field
  • Plutonium

    Plutonium

    explosive in nuclear weapons nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors to make pacemakers
  • Americium

    Americium

    the detecting chemicalin high precision gas and smoke detectors a diagnotic aid for analysis of bone and mineral condition useful in other areas such as a radiation source for thickness gaugig and radiographic measurements
  • Dubnium

    Dubnium

    is of research interest only for studies in nuclear physics nuclear chemistry desing of accelerators and generally for the enlarrgement of human knowledge
  • Ununbium

    Ununbium

    no uses known
  • Tin

    Tin

    is used to coat other metals to prevent corrosion; over steel is used to make cans for food
  • Iron

    Iron

    Use in railings, benches ,garden gates; steel is the most common use; your body uses iron as the key component in hemoglobin which facilities the transportation of oxigen throughout yourbody via the blood
  • Silver

    Silver

    used in jewelry high quality cultery, mirrors as the reflective metal, plates, vases ,cups, some elctrical products for medical purpose; is also used in clothing to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi
  • Gold

    it is used in jewelry, finances, electronics and computers, dentistry and medicine, medals and awards
  • Cooper

    Cooper

    has the highest electrical conductivity apart from silver or gold leading to applications in power generations and transmission electrial equipment antimicrobial properties for hospitals
