1b Transition Metals

1b Transition Metals
Name	Symbol	Atomic number	Atomic weight	Boiling point	Melting Point	Density
Copper	Cu	29	65.38	2563 C	1085 C	8.96 g/cm3
Silver	Ag	47	112.2	2163 C	962 C	10.5 g/cm3
Gold	Au	79	200.6	2857 C	1064 C	19.3 g/cm3

notes: The element Copper is used in electrical wiring, and just recently, in wiring for semiconductor chips.
Silver forms many photo-sensitive compounds, and is used in photography.
Gold is fairly non-reactive, and is used to coat electrical contacts to prevent corrosion and tarnishing, and thus provide a better, more reliable connection.
