 Hi! I am back with Metals in Detail Part 2 . Today you all will know about Beryllium. Let's start. Beryllium   Beryllium is a silvery-white metal. It is relatively soft and has a low density.  Beryllium is used in gears and cogs particularly in the aviation industry.  Beryllium is used in alloys with copper or nickel to make gyroscopes, springs, electrical contacts, spot-welding electrodes and non-sparking tools. Mixing beryllium with these metals increases their electrical and thermal conductivity. Other beryllium alloys are used as structural materials for high-speed aircraft, missiles, spacecraft and communication satellites. Beryllium is relatively transparent to X-rays so ultra-thin beryllium foil is finding use in X-ray lithography. Beryllium is also used in nuclear reactors as a reflector or moderator of neutrons. The oxide has a very high melting point making it useful in nuclear work as well as having ceramic applications. Beryllium and its compounds are to...

 Hi everyone, I am back with metals in detail part 1. Don't worry we will have a interesting posts on various topics between each part. Now, Let's start.   1 ) Lithium Lithium   is a  chemical element  with the  symbol   Li  and  atomic number  3. It is a soft, silvery-white  alkali metal . Under experimental condition i t is the lightest metal and the lightest solid element. Like all alkali metals, lithium is highly  reactive  and flammable, and must be stored in  mineral oil .  When cut, it exhibits a metallic  luster , but moist air  corrodes(corrosion)  it quickly to a dull silvery gray, then black tarnish. It never occurs freely in nature, but only in   compounds , such as  pegmatitic  minerals, which were once the main source of lithium. Due to its solubility as an iron, it is present in ocean water and is commonly obtained from  brines(  Brine  is a hi...

 Welcome back to part 2. The surprise is at last. Before that lets see about the remaining 43 metals.

The surprise is that I am gonna explain about each metal named Metals in Detail. Each part wil...

 Hi everyone! Today i am with a topic of metals in the world. And i am going to display the name of metals found in periodic table along with its picture. There are 118 elements. In that, there are 87 metals, 18 non metals, 7 metalloids and five other elements. Now  let us see only about metals. They are usually in white and silvery grey colours. As there are 87 metals we will have parts. 1) Lithium 2) Beryllium 3) Sodium 4) Magnesium 5)Aluminium 6)Potassium 7) Calcium 8) Scandium 9) Titanium 10) Vanadium 11) Chromium 12) Manganese 13) Iron 14) Cobalt 15) Nickel 16) copper 17) Zinc 18) Gallium 19) Rubidium 20) Strontium 21) Yttrium 22) Zirconium 23) Niobium 24) Molybdenum 25) Technetium 26) Ruthenium 27) Rhodium 28) Palladium 29) Silver 30) Cadmium  31) Indium 32) Tin 33) Cesium 34) Barium 35) Lanthanum 36) Cerium 37) Praseodymium 38) Neodymium 39) Promethium 40) Samarium 41) Europium 42) Gadolinium 43) Terbium 44) Dysprosium Hope you all liked it. See u all in next part....
