Some sample questions from this category:

* This metal's earlier name was "wolfram", which explains its symbol, "W". It melts at about 3410 degrees Celsius, which is the highest melting point of all metals. It is commonly used as the filament of light-bulbs.
* This metal's Latin name is "ferrum" and it is a magnetic, malleable and silvery-white metal. In its metallic form it was used to make ornaments and weapons in prehistoric ages. When exposed to moist air, it oxidises and tarnishes to form a moist reddish-brown oxide, better known as "rust".
* It has the symbol 'Mn' and is principally used in making alloys, as by itself, it is rather brittle. It does not occur in the free state, except, rather strangely, on meteors. Its principal ore is pyrolusite, which is mined is large quantities in Ukraine, Georgia and South Africa.
* Which metallic element is NOT naturally magnetic?
* Speaking of magnets, name an alloy that is used as magnets.
