Lumber mills are least likely to pollute water with heavy metals. Did you know that Zinc, copper, and lead are three of the most common heavy metals released from road travel.

Heavy metals
Halogens.
any ion from the alkali metals will not readily produce a precipitate
The metals highest on the list are the least stable.
No, Most metals are at least relatively ductile.
Among the naturally occurring elements, the most likely one would be cesium, the least electronegative of all elements. In practice, any of the other alkali metals and any of the alkaline earth metals would usually react readily with chlorine gas, as would many of the transition metals.
Most reactive metals are alkali metals, most reactive nonmetalas are halogens.Least reactive metals are platinum metals; least reactive nonmetals are noble gases.
Is what as least as likely as not? that is myquestion to you!
All metals last essentially forever ... but they chemically combine with other elements - such as iron and oxygen to form rust : so the ones that seem to "last the longest" are the least reactive, thus gold and platinum.
Most likely lithium since it has a the highest ionization energy than the others.
How heavy a spitfire
