Antimony Sb
Silver/gray metalloid Solid Used in alloys to
increase hardness Used in some
semiconductors (microchips)
Arsenic As
Silver/gray metalloid Solid Used in some weed
killers and rat poisons
Bismuth Bi
Silver/gray metal Solid Low melting point –
mixed with lead and tin to make electrical solder and automatic fire sprinkler heads
Bromine Br
Reddish-brown non-metal
One of only 2 elements which are liquids at room temperature (the other is Hg)
Will cause painful burns on skin that heal slowly
Cadmium Cd
Silver metal Solid
Calcium Ca
Silver-white metal Solid Very soft Important to the
formation of bones and teeth
Chromium Cr
Silver-gray metal Solid Mixed with other
metals to make stainless steel
Used in many paint pigments
Carbon C
Non-metal, usually blackish
Solid Exists in several
forms, including graphite (pencil lead), and diamond
Is the basis of organic compounds
Cobalt Co
Grey-black metal Solid Used in magnets
Copper Cu
Reddish-brown metal
Solid Good conductor of
heat and electricity Used for electrical
wires, water pipes and cookware
Germanium Ge
Dark to light gray metalloid
Solid Similar to silicon, it is
used in microchips
Iron Fe
Silvery-white metal Solid Very common metal Main component of
steels
Iodine I
Dark gray non-metal Solid When heated, it
becomes a purple gas without going through the liquid stage. (this change is called sublimation)
Lead Pb
Gray metal Solid Very soft Used for fishing
sinkers and in car batteries
Lithium Li
Silvery metal Solid Soft, easily cut with a
knife Highly reactive, must
be stored in oil to prevent reaction with water vapour in the air
Magnesium Mg
Silver metal Solid Burns with a very
bright flame Used in flares
Manganese Mn
Silvery metal Solid Used in steel
Mercury Hg
Silvery metal One of only 2
elements which are liquids at room temperature (the other is Br)
Used in thermometers
poisonous
Nickel Ni
Silver-gray metal Solid Used in steel and in
magnets
Phosphorus P
Non-metal, most commonly red or white
Solid Burns easily, must
be stored in water to prevent reaction with oxygen in air
Used in matches
Silicon Si
Gray metalloid Solid Sand and glass are
silicon compounds Used for making
microchips
Sulfur S
Yellow non-metal Solid Often found near
volcanoes “Rotten egg” gas is a
sulfur compound (hydrogen sulfide)
Tin Sn
Silvery metal Solid Used to coat iron
cans because it doesn’t corrode as easily as iron
Zinc Zn
Bluish-gray metal Solid Used to coat iron
and prevent it from rusting (galvanized iron)
