How Apple makes the iPod Nano
The iPod Nano was made to be economical as part of an Apple environmental program meaning that a ton of the material used in the manufacturing could be recyclable if done properly.
The Components and the elements of the materials and where they are found are as follows:

1. Aluminum Information on the element aluminum:
2. Silicon and Oxygen (Silica/Silicon Dioxide) The display glass originally came from sand so that is where the compound is formed. Most Glass/sand have an ionic compound of 1 Silicon (a metalloid) and 2 Oxygen (a non-metal) which is usually written as SiO2. Silicon has an atomic number of 14, an ion Charge of 4+/-, an atomic mass of 28.09, a symbol of Si, and also is in the group 14, period 3. Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, an ion charge of 2-, an atomic mass of 16.00, a symbol of O, an ionic name which is oxide, and is in group 17, period 2 in the periodic table. 3. Lithium-ion Lithium-ion batteries are one of the most common types of batteries so it is not a surprise to see it in the iPod Nano. Since the Lithium cannot be used in the battery with only 1 electron in the second shell, it is called Lithium-ion meaning it only has 2 electrons overall even though Lithium has 3 electrons in the periodic table. Lithium has an atomic number of 3, an ion charge of 1+, an atomic mass of 6.94, a symbol of Li, and is in group 1, period 2 in the periodic table. 4. Copper Information on the elementCopper:
