efficient methods.
Costs about 0.65 cents for

1668°C
 Boiling point at
3287°C
 Density is 4.5 g/cm³
 Not radioactive
 Great properties to
have because of uses
 Since it has high
melting point, makes
it great for laptops,
watches, and
desalination plants
 Because of weight,
starting to take place
of steel

7.  6th most abundant element on Earth
