Metals
Metals take up about three-fourths of the periodic table of elements, of 75%.  Some familiar ones are gold, copper, silver, zinc, aluminum, iron, lead, mercury, magnesium, and chromium.
A metal is a substance that is a good conductor of heat and electricity.
The melting points of metals are in a wide range of temperatures.

Metals with high melting points are useful because they can withstand high temperatures.  The aerospace industry uses beryllium to stop space shuttle as it lands.
