Aluminum – | One of the most common types of metals for being wearable and lightweight. |
Brass – | This is an example of an alloy metal as it is made up from copper and zinc. |
Bronze- | Another alloy metal made from copper and tin. |
Chrome – | This is a very shiny decorative metal, and is not easily corroded. |
Copper – | Another very commonly found metal, usually a redish brick colour. It is also used to make up alloy formulas. |
Foil – | It is rolled into very, very thin sheets and aluminum one is commonly found as a house-hold item. |
Gold – | It is usually a shiny yellow color and unlike aluminum it is very heavy just like its price. However it is one of the softest metals. |
Iron – | It is pretty much the biggest metal component on the Earth. |
Lead – | It is a soft and ductile metal. |
Magnesium – | This type of metal reacts highly in experimentation and a key part to everyday life. |
Mercury – | At room temperature this metal can still be a liquid without changing. It also does not react well with acid. |
Nickel – | This is a component which can be used to make up stainless steel. |
Pewter – | This is also an alloy metal. It is usually used to make picture frames. |
Platinum – | This is known to be a very precious metal. |

Tin – | It is mainly used as part of an alloy but is in fact one of the oldest metals known to man. |
Titanium – | This type of metal is a dark silver colour and is also one of the strongest in comparison to a lot of other metals. It is used mainly to make strong alloys. |
Zinc – | It is a very protective type of metal and again is used to make a lot of strong alloys. It won’t let another metal rust when mixed together until all the ... is gone. |
