Table 1 presents some property measurements for a series of materials, whilst Figure 1 plots the Young's modulii of these materials as a function of their specific gravities. The line OP passes through the datum point for our benchmark material: aluminum. The datum point marked A on Figure 1 corresponds to: Alumina Tungsten Copper Mullite Nylon

Table 2 presents atomic numbers (At #), melting points (MP), specific gravities (SG) and Mohs' Hardnesses (H) for a series of metals, and their corresponding oxides. The specific gravity of a metal oxide increases as the specific gravity of the metal increases. Always true Sometimes false

Table 2 presents some properties of a variety of materials. Corundum is a Metal Ceramic Polymer Composite. Corundum is a compound; it is non-metallic, and inorganic; it is an oxide-ceramic.
