Bubonic Plague was known as the Black Death and had been known in England for centuries. It was a ghastly disease. The victim's skin turned black in patches and inflamed glands or 'buboes' in the groin, combined with compulsive vomiting, swollen tongue and splitting headaches made it a horrible, agonizing killer.
Uses of Tin. Tin is mostly commonly used in alloys, and in tin plate which is a thin sheet of steel with a protective coating of tin. Tin plate is used for food cans because it is not reactive to the acids present in food.
Metals. The uses of metals are related to their properties: They are made into jewellery due to their hard and shiny appearance. They are used to make pans, since they are good conductors of heat. They are used in electrical cables, because they are malleable, ductile and good conductors of electricity. They are strong so used to build scaffolding and bridges. They make a ringing sound, sonorous, hence their use in bell making. Non-metals.
