Tungsten is a steel metal and is found naturally on the earth. It is also called wolfram and has the chemical symbol of W. It was identified as a new element in 1781, and first isolated as a metal in 1783. It is sought after due to having the highest melting point of all non-alloyed substances on earth. Here are some of the most common uses of Tungsten in the world today!
Crude oil is the term that is used for the raw oil that is taken directly from the ground. It is the oil that is unprocessed for use. Another common name for crude oil is petroleum. Crude oil is a fossil fuel that is made from decaying plant matter that has been under pressure in the earth’s crust for many years. It is most often mined from sea beds and places that once held sea water. It ranges in color from clear to tar-black and can be thin like water or much thicker to the point where it is almost solid. Here are some of the more common used of crude oil in the world today!
Arsenic, with the chemical symbol As and the atomic number of 33, is a chemical element that occurs in many other minerals such as sulfur and metals. It is a metalloid which usually has a metallic gray appearance. Arsenic is very poisonous to most life and there are only a few species of bacteria that are able to use arsenic compounds safely. Here are some of the most common uses for arsenic in the world today!
Uranium, with the chemical symbol U and an atomic number of 92, is a silvery-white metallic element with the second highest atomic weight of all naturally occurring elements. It is the only naturally occurring fissile isotope and is found in small concentrations in soil, rock and water and is mined from uranium-bearing minerals such as uraninite. Here are some of the most common uses of uranium in the world today!
Bromine, which has the chemical symbol Br and an atomic mass of 79.904, is a chemical element which belongs to the halogen element group. Elemental bromine is a brown-red liquid at room temperature which lets of fumes that are corrosive and toxic. Free bromine does not occur naturally but appears as a colorless crystallite substance. Here are some of the more common uses for bromine in the past and in the world today!

Manganese is a chemical element with the atomic number of 25 and is represented by the symbol Mn. t is the 12th most common element found in the crust of the Earth. Manganese is a metal that can be found in its free form on Earth, often combined with iron, as well as in many minerals. It is commonly extracted from pyrolusite ore and it is estimated that 80% of the commercially viable manganese sources are found in South Africa. Manganese is a very important metal which is used in a variety of different applications. Here are some of the more common uses of manganese in the world today.
