The nature of metals has fascinated mankind for many centuries, because these materials provided people with tools of unsurpassed properties both in war and in their preparation and processing. Sterling gold and silver were known to man since the Stone Age. Lead and silver were fused from their ores as early as the fourth millennium BC. The importance of metal varies for different groups. Case in point, stargazers utilize the sweeping term metal for comfort to aggregately portray all components other than hydrogen and helium which are the fundamental segments of stars, which thus embody the greater part of the noticeable matter in the universe. Hence, in cosmology and physical cosmology, the metallicity of an item is the extent of its matter made up of synthetic components other than hydrogen and helium. Also, numerous components and intensifies that are not regularly named metals get to be metallic under high weights; these are known as metallic allotrope of non-metals. An alloy is a mixture of either pure or fairly pure chemical elements, which forms an impure substance (admixture) that retains the characteristics of a metal.
