Cerium (Ce)

Alloys for cigarette lighters. http://www.chemistryexplained.com/elements/A-C/Cerium.html

Silver (Ag)

Electronics rely on this for the production of solar energy. https://geology.com/articles/uses-of-silver/

Gold (Au)

Etymology. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gold

Neptunium (Np)

Is a element that is almost strongest to be used in bombs but take a lot more work other than Uranium and Plutonium. https://io9.gizmodo.com/this-element-could-have-made-an-atom-bomb-if-not-for-on-1733503259

Plutonium (Pu)

Is a fissionable isotope that can be used to make nuclear fission bomb. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/NucEne/bomb.html

Praseodymium (Pr)

Is a high-strength alloy that forms with magnesium and is used in aircraft engines.

Zinc (Zn)

Is found in pumpkin seeds.

Niobium (Nb)

Is strong and is often used in pipeline construction because it resists corrosion due to the oxide film. The metal starts to oxidize rapidly in air at 200 oC. https://www.chemicool.com/elements/niobium.html

Tellurium (Te)

Is used in rewrite able CDs. https://mmta.co.uk/metals/te/

Neon (Ne)

Used for lighting purposes.

Californium (Cf)

Used for research purposes and is a good source of neutrons.

Caesium (Cs)

Used in atomic clocks because it only has one stable isotope so, getting a pure gas is much easier. https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/191871/why-do-atomic-clocks-only-use-caesium

Americium (Am)

Used in smoke detectors. https://www3.epa.gov/radtown/americium-smoke-detectors.html

Boron (B)

Used to be used in beach but no longer is. http://www.elementsdatabase.com/Boron-B-5-element/

Uranium (U)

used in bombs by the process of nuclear fusion.
