4. GOLD
The chemical element gold has the atomic number 79 and the symbol
Au. This makes it one of the greater nuclear number components that happen
normally. In its purest form, it is a bright, slightly orange-yellow metal that is
dense, soft, malleable, and ductile. Gold is a group 11 element and a transition
metal in chemistry.

5. SILVER
Silver (Ag) is a white, lustrous chemical element that is prized for its
decorative beauty and electrical conductivity. Between copper (Period 4) and
gold (Period 6), silver is in Group 11 (Ib) and Period 5 of the periodic table. Its
physical and chemical properties lie in between those of those two metals.

6. GLASS
Glass is a solid material that is typically made by heating a mixture of
silica (silicon dioxide), soda (sodium carbonate), and lime (calcium oxide) to a
high temperature until it melts and then allowing it to cool and solidify.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES VALUE

DENSITY 4.5 g/cm³
MELTING POINT 1660°C
THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY 21.9 W/mK
BOILING POINT N/A

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES VALUE

YIELD STRENGTH 10-50 MPa
YOUNG’S MODULUS 70-90 GPa

7. COBALT
The chemical element cobalt has the atomic number 27 and the symbol
Co. Cobalt, like nickel, is only found in the Earth's crust as a chemically
combined form, with the exception of a few tiny deposits in alloys of natural
meteorite iron. Reductive smelting results in the free element, a silver metal
with a hard, lustrous surface.
