                                 USES 
                         ********  ********
Gold
-------- 
          Making jewelleries are the primary usage of gold

          Gold is used in Dentistry
          
          Pledging  (mortgage)
     
          Used in electronic devices
         
Copper
-----------
    
          Used in making alloys
   
          Good conductor of electricity ∴ it is used to conduct electricity in  wide range
     
          it is an unreactive metal, ∴ it will only cause less corossion
    
          copper utensils can be made.
   
         Copper tubing is used in plumbing, because of its high heat capacity.
 
         Used to make jewelleries
        
         Used in electrical transmission lines

Zinc
------
  
         Zinc oxide uses in following cases
                     manufacture of
                                         ---->  paints
                                         -----> soaps
                                         ------> rubber

         Zinc is used to make equipments

         used in batteries 

Aluminium
-------------
     
        Making of house- hold utensils 
  
       Making of cans, foils 
 
       Aluminium ain't that strong metal, though aluminium casted with other metals will give strong alloys..
    
   
      Aluminium is important in the construction of transporting vehicles such as Ships, aeroplanes etc...
      
      Used in electrical transmission lines

Iron
------
 
      Available in cheap cost ∴ it is widely used than any other metals
  
     Used in construction of buildings , because it is the strongest metal.
 
     iron with other metals give steel, while is mostly used in making utensils, construction works..

    Stainless steel is very resistant to corrosion and is used widely for house hold purposes.
