Uses for Metals and Nonmetals
A metal's use is directly linked to its 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 including 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 at conducting electricity. Tungsten is used for the filaments of light bulbs because it glows white-hot without melting.
Nonmetals are plentiful and useful. These are among the most commonly used:
- Oxygen, a gas, is absolutely essential to human life. Not only do we breathe it and use it for medical purposes, but we also use it as an important element in combustion.
- Sulfur is valued for its medical properties and as an important ingredient in many chemical solutions. Sulfuric acid is an important tool for industry, used in batteries and manufacturing.
- Chlorine is a powerful disinfectant. It is used to purify water for drinking and fill swimming pools.
