Factors affecting network performance Not all networks are the same. As data is broken into component parts (often known frames, packets, or segments) for transmission, several factors can affect their delivery.
It is sometimes strange to see what elements combine to make a compound. Sodium, a soft metal which fizzes violently when put into water, and chlorine, a poisonous gas, make sodium chloride (NaCl), otherwise known as common salt! The elements are usually arranged in the Periodic Table.
Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium and Titanium are precious metals, meaning they are rare metallic chemical elements of high economic value, shiny, hard, strong with high melting points. They form alloys (mixtures) with other metals and this makes them ideal for jewellery.
