It was discovered BCE. Lead used to be used more widely than it is today, but then its toxic effects were discovered. Today its primary use is to protect against radiation like from Xrays. It is also used in solder and batteries.
-
Arsenic is used for: poison, wood perservative, paints, glass making, electronics manufacturing, medicine and food suplements products.
-
Zinc is mainly used a protective coating for iron and steel, boosts brain activity, is also used as a main alloy for Brass. Zinc oxide, known as zinc white or Chinese white, is used as a paint pigment. Zinc chloride is used as a wood preservative and as a soldering fluid. Zinc Sulfide is a phosphor for the screens of television tubes and in fluorescent coatings.
Zinc is also used for medical purposes like boosting your immune system and others. -
It was discovered BCE. The most important use of antimony is as a hardener in lead for storage batteries. Uses include:
* Batteries
* antifriction alloys
* type metal
* small arms and tracer ammunition
* cable sheathing
* matches
* medicines, antiprotozoan drugs
* plumbing
* soldering - some 'lead-free' solders contain 5% Sb
* main and big-end bearings in internal combustion engines (as alloy)
* used in the past to treat Schistosomiasis; today Praziquantel is universally used. -
The element known as phosphorus is used to make pesticides, fertiliser, safety matches and tracer bullets. It is also used in compounds that are employed in fluorescent lighting, sodas, toothpaste and in making cleaning agents.
-
Platinum is used for quite a few things besides making some really beautiful jewelry. It is used in autocatalysts in our cars, in the making of electronics, for fertilizers, and in glass making equipment.
-
Nickel is a chemical element. Nickel metal is used in many ways such as; for the formation of alloys that are used for making stainless steel and several other corrosion resistant alloys. There is Copper-nickel alloy tubing, which is used in desalination plants. Nickel metal is also used in coinage and for armour plating. Nickel plating is usually applied to other metals so as to provide a protective coating. Nickel metal is used in ceramics, magnets, and batteries.
-
Nitrogen is used for the production of ammonia, nitric acid and fertilizers. Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze materials like food. Since nitrogen is relatively inert, it is often used as a preservative atmosphere for delicate historical objects.
-
Chlorine is used for many uses such as a disinfectant, purifier, plastics, polymers, solvents, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. It is used to purify water and also plays a big role in the production of many commercial products such as bleach, disinfectant, bullet proof vests, silicon chips, computer hardware and automotive parts.
-
Oxygen is used for: breathing in living organisms, used as oxy-acetylene for welding purposes, used in artificial breathing systems in the hospitals, making methanol and ethane oxides and making the ozone layer, which prevents the ultraviolet radiations of the sun from reaching the earth.
-
It is used for making car parts such as pistons, cylinder heads, radiators and wheel rims. Aluminium is actually the second-most utilised metal after steel, mainly because it is so versatile.
-
Flourine is used for rocket fuel, purifying uranium, refrigeration liquids, and even toothpaste.
-
Argon is used as an inert shielding gas in welding and other high-temperature industrial processes where ordinarily non-reactive substances become reactive. Argon is a colourless, odourless, non-flammable, non-reactive, inert gas. Argon gas is also used in incandescent and fluorescent lighting and other types of gas discharge tubes, it makes a distinctive blue-green gas laser.
-
Helium is most commonly known for being used to fill balloons to make them float. It also has uses in deep sea diving, welding, and filling blimps.
-
Superman would probably prefer that we not use krypton since it tend to weaken him. Krypton is a gas which in earth's atmosphere and is used in some types of flashes in photography and some light bulbs.
-
Neon is a chemical element with an atomic number of ten. It is an inert gas grouped under the noble gases and it is acquired by distilling liquid air. It is generally used in fluorescent lamps and for advertising.
-
Polonium is used in the manufacture of bombs and also in the textile industries as is a major neutraliser of static electricity.
-
Radium is used for luminescent paints, neutron sources, and in medicine to treat diseases. Radioisotopes, such as 60Co are now being used in place of radium.
-
Actinium is a radioactive chemical element that is used primarily in scientific research. This element is rarely used by consumers because it is highly radioactive and extremely dangerous.
-
There is different ways that radon is used now days. It is used for medical treatments for people with cancer. It use to be used for X-rays, but they do not use it for that anymore. Some practitioners think it is good to use radon in a sauna bath to help people with arthritis.
-
Francium is used for research purposes in the fields of biology and atomic structure. It is also used as a potential diagnostic aid for various cancers.
-
Plutonium is not a very common element, but it is very reactive. It is normally used in making nuclear weapons or in nuclear reactors to produce energy.
-
Americum is used in smoke detectors, but it does not pose a health hazard because the particles are absorbed by the air within the case of the detector. It is also used in nuclear reactors, gamma radiography, and for crystal research.
-
Any practical uses, only for research.
-
It is recognized by copernicium. Element 112 has no uses as only a very few atoms of this element have been identified.
-
It was discovered in the pre-history. The principal uses of sulphur include: making fungicide, insecticide and fumigant and producing phosphate fertilizers. It is also used in the treatment of certain skin diseases. Sulphur is also used in the preparation of its compounds.
-
it was discovered in the pre-history. Carbon can be used for several things like: diamond, water filters, electronics, feul & energy, graphite, drinks, food, steel, simple calories, nano tubes, aerospace engineering.
-
It was discovered BCE. Tin does not have that many practical uses. It is used to coat other metals to help prevent rust and corrosion. It an also be used in solder.
-
It was discovered BCE. It can be used for many things, such as: -Making cars, trucks, and vans
-Making steel
-Making building supports
-Making airplanes
-Making Warships
-Making Ships( Fishing and Trade)
-Making office supplies (staples, nails, and paper clips)
-Making computers
-Making furniture -
It was discovered BCE. Silver is used in making coins and jewelry. Aside from these obvious uses, silver also has health benefits and is used in medicine. It is also used in photography, dental fillings, and as an electrical conductor.
-
It was created in BCE. Gold is used for jewlery, decorations, tooth fillings, electronics and more.
-
it was dicovered BCE. Copper has a multitude of uses. You will fond copper used in the making plumbing pipe, for electrical wire, in medicine and for something you see most every day, the penny and for more.
