First, there are the Alkali metals (group 1 or 1A on the periodic table). They are very reactive and do not occur freely in nature. These are generally softer metals, and many can explode when exposed to water.
* Lithium (Li from the Greek word lithos, meaning stone)
* Sodium (Na from the Latin word natrium, meaning sodium)
* Potassium (K from the Latin word kalium)
* Rubidium (Rb from the Latin word rubidus, meaning red)
* Cesium (Cs from the Latin word caesius, meaning sky blue)
* Francium (Fr named after France)
Next are the Alkaline Earth metals (group 2), also not found free in nature due to their high reactivity.
* Beryllium (Be from the mineral beryl)
* Magnesium (Mg named after Magnesia (City))
* Calcium (Ca from the Latin word calcis, meaning lime)
* Strontium (Sr after Strotian (a Scottish town))
* Barium (Ba from the Greek word barys, meaning heavy)
* Radium (Ra from the Latin word radius, meaning ray)
The 38 elements in groups 3 through 12 of the periodic table are called "transition metals," whose valence electrons, or the electrons they use to combine with other elements, are present in more than one shell, giving them unique oxidation states.
* Scandium (Sc)
* Titanium (Ti from the Greek word titanos, meaning Titans)
* Vanadium (V)
* Chromium (Cr From the Greek word chrôma, meaning color)
* Manganese (Mn from the Latin word mangnes, meaning magnet)
* Iron (Fe from the Latin word ferrum, meaning iron)
* Cobalt (Co from the German word kobalt or kobold, meaning evil spirit)
* Nickel (Ni from the German word kupfernickel (false copper)
* Copper (Cu from the Latin word cyprium, after the island of Cyprus)
* Zinc (Zn from the German word zin, meaning tin)
* Yttrium (Y)
* Zirconium (Zr)
* Niobium (Nb)
* Molybdenum (Mo)
* Technetium (Tc)
* Ruthenium (Ru)
* Rhodium (Rh)
* Palladium (Pd)
* Silver (Ag from the Latin word argentum, meaning silver)
* Cadmium (Cd from the Greek word kadmeia, an ancient name for calamine, and from the Latin word cadmia, an alchemical oxide of zinc)
* Hafnium (Hf)
* Tantalum (Ta)
* Tungsten (W)
* Rhenium (Re)
* Osmium (Os)
* Iridium (Ir from the Latin word iridis, meaning rainbow)
* Platinum (Pt from the Spanish word platina, meaning little silver)
* Gold (Au from the Latin word aurum, meaning gold)
* Mercury (Hg from the Latin word hydrargyrum, meaning liquid silver)
* Rutherfordium (Rf)
* Dubnium (Db)
* Seaborgium (Sg)
* Bohrium (Bh)
* Hassium (Hs)
* Meitnerium (Mt)
* Ununnilium (Uun)
* Unununium (Uuu)
* Ununbium (Uub)
The 7 elements classified as "other metals" are located in groups 13, 14, and 15.
* Aluminum (Al from the Latin word alumen, meaning that which has a bitter or metallic taste)
* Gallium (Ga from the Latin word Gallia, the old name of France)
* Indium (In from the Indigo color seen in its spectrum)
* Tin (Sn from the Latin word stannum, meaning tin)
* Thallium (Tl from the Greek word thallos, meaning young shoot)
* Lead (Pb from the Latin word plumbum, meaning lead)
* Bismuth (Bi from the German word wissmuth, meaning white mass)
I hope that helps you! Good luck and email me if you would like additional help.
Unless you meant, heavy metal MUSIC.... In that case none of this probably matters to you!
