How the elements in the iron triad differ from the other transition elements?

According to the eighth grade Physical Science textbook, the reason that they differ is because the coinage metals are arranged the way they are so stable and malleable and can be found as free elements in nature. These metals were used widely to make coins, giving them the title of the coinage metals. As for the iron triad, it differs because the elements are used in the process to create steel and other metal mixtures.


Why are lighter elements used in fusion reactions?

What are the four elements plants need to grow?

Plants need 16 elements for normal growth. Three are found in air and water. They are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Six are found in soil – nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and sulfur. They are used in relatively large amounts by plants and are called macronutrients. Seven other elements, known as micronutrients or trace elements, are used in much smaller amounts.
