Element Uses
Metals
Titanium
These alloys are mainly used in aircraft, spacecraft and missiles because of their low density and ability to withstand extremes of temperature.
Aluminium
Precision Tubing in motor vehicles, refrigerators, air conditioning, solar panels
Power Lines
Rolled Aluminium products
Heat sinks for cooling CPU's and graphics processors
Construction
Non-Metals
Nitrogen
Nitrogen is important to the chemical industry.
It is used to make fertilisers, nitric acid, nylon, dyes and explosives.
Sulfur
They are in medicines.
We can find sulfur in Volcanoes and Matches.
Metalloids
Silicon
Silicon is used in the production of fire bricks.
The element is a major constituent in ceramics and bricks.
Being a semiconductor, the element is put into use for making transistors.
Silicon is widely used in computer chips and solar cells.
It is a vital component of Portland cement.
Boron
Boron makes glass, ceramics, and enamels fiberglass for isolation.
It's compounds are used for water softeners, soaps, detergents, agricultural chemicals, pest controls, fire retardants, fireworks, and medicines, which are commercial uses.
Boron has been an ignition source in some rockets, an industrial use.
Inert/Noble Gases
Neon
Neon is used in vacuum tubes, high-voltage indicators, lightning arresters, wavemeter tubes, television tubes, and helium–neon lasers.
Liquefied neon is commercially used as a cryogenic refrigerant in applications not requiring the lower temperature range attainable with more extreme liquid-helium refrigeration.
Helium
Helium gas is used to inflate blimps, scientific balloons and party balloons.
It is used as an inert shield for arc welding, to pressurize the fuel tanks of liquid fueled rockets and in supersonic wind tunnels.
