Other Metals
"Other Metals" refers to a category of metallic elements that do not fall into the categories of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, or rare earth metals. This group includes elements like aluminum, tin, and lead, which have distinct properties and uses. These metals are often characterized by their relatively low melting points and densities compared to other metals.
These metals are commonly used in various industries. For example, aluminum is widely used in packaging and construction due to its lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties. Lead has applications in batteries and radiation shielding, while tin is often used in alloys and as a coating to prevent corrosion.
