A metal (from Greek Î¼Î­ÏÎ±Î»Î»Î¿Î½ metallon, mÃ©tallon, mine, quarry) metal is a (material an, element, compound or) alloy that is typically, hard, opaque, shiny and has good electrical and thermal. conductivityhen a metal ore is an ionic compound of that metal and a non-metal, the ore must usually be smelted â heated with a reducing agent â to extract the pure metal. Many common metals, such as iron, are smelted using carbon as a reducing agent.
What are Elements and Alloys? Metals can be elements or alloys. Elements are the basic building blocks of chemistry. Examples of elements: Oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, iron (Fe), copper (Cu) and niobium (Nb). Lead (Pb) is an element that was traditionally popular as an ingredient in casting alloys (and some other alloys) because it makes some metals softer, less brittle and/or helps them melt at lower temperatures.
