Most elements on the periodic table are metals, and each earns its use through a specific property. Titanium is light and strong enough for aircraft, tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal, and chromium resists corrosion so well it plates other surfaces. Platinum barely reacts at all, while magnesium and potassium react fiercely. Nickel, zinc, cobalt, manganese, and lead each show up in alloys, batteries, and coatings. This word puzzle gathers eleven of them.
Frequently asked questions
Which metal has the highest melting point in this metals word search?
TUNGSTEN, which stays solid past three thousand degrees Celsius. That is why it was used for the filament in old light bulbs.
Why is titanium used in aircraft?
TITANIUM offers the strength of steel at far less weight, and it resists corrosion, which matters over decades of flight.
