The 8 most common elements in Earth's crust (by mass):
46.6% Oxygen (O)
27.7% Silicon (Si)
8.1% Aluminum (Al)
5.0% Iron (Fe)
3.6% Calcium (Ca)
2.8% Sodium (Na)
2.6% Potassium (K)
2.1% Magnesium (Mg)
Therefore, the most common metallic elements in the Earth's crust would be Silicon and aluminum. (Note that aluminum is a metal, but silicon is considered to be a metaliod -- not to be confused with Silicone which is a synthetic polymer.)

∙ 12y agoThe most abundant element in the earth's crust is oxygen, making up 46.6% of the earth's mass. Silicon is the second most abundant element (27.7%), followed by aluminum (8.1%), iron (5.0%), calcium (3.6%), sodium (2.8%), potassium (2.6%). and magnesium (2.1%). These eight elements account for approximately 98.5% of the total mass of the earth's crust.

What element commonly found in solid form within Earth's Crust?
what are two elements that can be found in the soiold earths crust
What is the least abundant of the eight rock-forming elements that make up most of the continental crust?
The 3 least abundant elements are Francium (Fr), Astatine (At),and Plutonium (Pu). Francium and Astatine come from the decay of Thorium (Th) and Uranium (U), are much more abundant. At any one time in the entire earth's crust there is only 30 grams of Francium and 25 grams of Astatine. Plutonium is only found in Uranium minerals. The amount of Plutonium is microscopic. Here are the 3 least abundant elements. Lowest 3. 89. Francium 90. Astatine 91. Plutonium
