Common metals are derived from various sources, primarily ores found in the Earth's crust. For instance, aluminum is primarily extracted from bauxite, while iron is sourced from hematite and magnetite ores. Copper is often obtained from chalcopyrite and malachite, while zinc is commonly extracted from sphalerite. Additionally, some metals can be found in secondary sources, such as recycling scrap metal.

What are the advantages of radioactive metals?

Some radioactive metals are advantageous because they are useful. Certain radioactive metals like cobalt-60 are used as gamma ray sources for portable X-ray equipment, and to sterilize foods and other products. The most common use of radioactive metals is the use of uranium in nuclear reactors, principally to generate electric power. Radioactive metals are used as thermoelectric generators in space probes that travel far from the sun (because solar panels won't work far out). And these are just a few of their uses.
