2. Copper (Cu)

• Properties: Copper is a good conductor of electricity and is relatively unreactive compared to other metals.
• Use: Frequently used as a positive electrode in electrovoltaic cells, due to its stability and conductive properties.

3. Zinc (Zn)

• Properties: Zinc is highly reactive and easily gives up electrons.
• Use: Commonly used as the negative electrode in electrochemical cells, like in a simple zinc-copper battery.

4. Aluminum (Al)

• Properties: Aluminum is a lightweight, reactive metal with a natural oxide layer that protects it.
• Use: Often used in chemical reactions to produce hydrogen or as an electrode in electrolytic cells.

5. Steel (an alloy of iron)

• Properties: Steel is more resistant to corrosion than pure iron, thanks to the presence of carbon and sometimes other elements.
• Use: Steel can be used in experiments similar to iron, but it is less prone to rusting.

6. Magnesium (Mg)

• Properties: Magnesium is a highly reactive metal, often used in pyrotechnics due to its bright flame when ignited.
