Using Metals
Most metals that are used by us belong to the ' transition elements' section in the periodic table.
Transition Block metals have typical metal properties so are very useful.
Group 1 and 2 metals are softer and react easily with water, air and acid. They have limited uses.
When a metal is mixed with other elements, we get a mixture of metals called an 'alloy'.
Titanium is fast becoming a widely used metal
- as an alloy it is used in air crafts, naval ships, helicopters, missiles, body piercings, surgical instruments etc.
- as the oxide it is used in toothpastes, paint, paper, laptop plastic etc.
