👉 A monometallist is a type of metal that contains only one element, which is called "met" in this context. Monometallists are usually found in metallic compounds or alloys and are often used in applications where pure metals are not suitable due to their high cost or toxicity. For example, in the production of electronic devices like semiconductors, monometalllic materials such as silicon are commonly used because they are less expensive and have a lower melting point than other metals.
