Answer:
Pure elements that might be found in a home:
Argon and tungsten are in incandescent light bulbs. Argon is inert and therefore keeps the tungsten filament from oxidizing.
Mercury is in some thermostats and in switches in space heaters that turn off when tipped over. Mercury completes the circuit when the appliance is in the upright position, but drains to a lower position and breaks the circuit when tilted.
Copper is used in electrical wiring and in some water pipes.
Carbon is in pencils. What we call pencil lead is actually the graphite form of carbon. The diamond form of carbon is in jewelry and is used as a cutting surface on saw blades designed to cut through metal.
