I'll not give you the top 10, but:-
Lead, or other soft metals such as gold, will have a poor resonance, for the crystal structure will not sustain resonance - the energy is absorbed in the metal.
Conversely, brittle metals such as tungsten will have better resonance. But are too expensive for consideration. Bronze, a combination of copper and tin is commonly used for bells, as is brass for small bells.
But heat treatment will change these characteristics. For example the steel drum bands of the Caribbean, where heat treatment and judicious stretching can produce a wonderfully resonant material.

Compare the solubilities of the lead compounds with those of the alkaline earth metals How are the solubilities similar and different?
Look at the position of Pb in the periodic table and the postion of the Alkali Earth metals. Alkali Earth Metals are in noble-gas configuration when they are doubly charged cations. Lead however is on the right hand side, and would like to have more electrons to get into that stablest configuration; making the bonds in lead-compounds more covalent -and stronger- in nature. Insoluble compounds have lattice enthalpies higher than the enthalpy of solvation. Now since Alkali Earth metals like to be in ionic states; their compounds will dissolve in general more easily than the same compounds with lead, since usually the lattice energy of lead compounds is much higher (In case of insoluble compounds higher than the energy that would be released upon solvation, which thus doesn't occur).
What trends in the solubilities of the compounds of the alkaline earth metals can be inferred?
1) NaOH : two top alkaline earth metals' solubility is decreasing as we can see from cloudy to lots of solid and two bottom metals' solubility is also decreasing in observing difference amount of solid between Sr(NO3)2 and Ba(NO3)2 2) NaCl: all of the alkaline earth metals are soluble. 3) NABr: all of the alkaline earth metals are soluble. 4) NaI: all of the alkaline earth metals are soluble. 5) Na2SO4: solubility of alkaline earth metals is decreasing from clear to solid and cloudy. 6) Na2CO3: solubility of alkaline earth metals from Mg(No3)2 to Sr(NO3)2 is decreasing and after Sr(NO3)2, solubility is increasing. 7) Na2C2O4: solubility of alkaline earth metals is decreasing from clear to solid and cloudy.
Where is the penthouse located in an apartment building?
Penthouse apartments are located on the very top floor of buildings. Penthouse apartments are usually the apartment in a building with the highest rent.
What are the comparative and superlative forms of the word up?
The comparative - "upper"; I can't think of any superlative.
What are the reactions with alkali metals and water like?
1) Alkali metals are stored in oil to minimise reaction with oxygen or water, it's a physical barrier towards air but the alkali metals still gradually corrode a traces of oxygen and water diffuse through. The reaction of alkali metals with water gets more violent for elements lower in the group e.g. (Li < Na < K < Rb < Cs). Adding them to water will cause an explosion due to the extremely exothermic nature of reaction, and can be rather dangerous and some alkali metals can react violently with just moisture in the air. Most of the alkali metals float on the top of the water, depending on how big the alkali metal is determines the size of the reaction this is because they're less dense that water itself and also during the reaction the alkali metals give of hydrogen gas which is quite flammable. Alkali Metal + Water » Metallic Hydroxide + Hydrogen The francium would be like any other alkali metal, it would be very violent like the other alkali metals.
Why does a conch shell make that weird noise when you blow in it?
The sound produced when blowing into a conch shell is due to resonance. The shape of the shell acts as a natural amplifier, enhancing the sound of the vibrations created by your breath. This phenomenon is similar to blowing across the top of a bottle to produce a similar sound.

Yes, the word "top" has a short a sound. It is pronounced /täp/.
How does the activity series of metals reflect the stability of metals?
We arrange metals into an ordered list with the best reducing agent at the top and the worst reducing agent at the bottom. This is an Activity Series for metals. Metals near the top of the list give up electrons most easily. Those metals near the bottom of the list give up electrons with difficulty. Hydrogen, even though it is not a metal, can be placed in the list. Metals above hydrogen in the Activity Series will react with 1.0 Molar hydrochloric acid at room temperature. The Activity Series for metals is developed by experiment.A list of metals arranged in order of reactivity~APEX

If all the strings on the guitar in the picture were plucked and allowed to vibrate freely the string at the top would produce the highest pitched sound. What could be concluded about the rate of vibr?
The top string would be vibrating the fastest.
