Zinc is one of Earth's most abundant elements, and although you may not realize it, is an important part of our daily lives.

The chemical element nickel (Ni) has the atomic number 28 and belongs to the category of transition metals, which are found between the group 2 metals and the group 13 non-metals on the periodic table.

Cobalt (pronounced koh-bawlt), the 27th element in the periodic table, is "a silver-white metallic element with a faint pinkish tinge" and at room temperature is a solid with a close packed hexagonal structure.

Iron is the most common element on the planet Earth and humans have been manipulating it for various uses for almost 5,000 years. Iron in its most base form is softer than aluminum, but when it is smelted with carbon, it becomes a super strong element that is the foundation of modern society.

Manganese is a hard metal that occurs in many different forms. The metal resembles iron in appearance, but is very brittle and easily oxidized. Manganese in dust form can be toxic if breathed into the system.

Chromium (Cr), the 24th element on the periodic table, is a hard, shiny, grey metal. It is also highly resistant to corrosion, making it useful in many applications. Several countries produce chromite ore, although South Africa is the most prolific producer

Vanadium is an element. You can find it on the Periodic Table under 'V' which is its symbol. It can usually be found in solid form which is its normal phase.

Titanium (Ti) is a chemical element, atomic number 22 on the periodic table, and has an atomic weight of 47.867. It is a silver metallic color and is known for its high strength to weight ratio.

Scandium (Sc) was discovered in 1879 by Lars Nilson in Scandinavia, from which the element gets its name

Calcium is a member of Group II A of the periodic table and is classified as an alkaline earth metal. According to numerous sources, calcium is the fifth most abundant element available on earth and is abundant in the Earth's crust.

Potassium, while seldom encountered in its pure form, is one of the more common elements of the periodic table. Its symbol is K and its atomic number 19, meaning that the nucleus of a potassium atom contains 19 protons.

Argon is one of the many elements in the Periodic Table. Its normal phase is gas, and it is in the family of Noble Gases.

Sulfur, the non-metallic element represented by the letter S, is listed in the Periodic Table of Elements with an atomic number of 16.

Silicon is an element that is included on the periodic table of elements. Silicon is symbolized using the abbreviation Si.
