class – Specifies a class name for an element (used to select elements with CSS and JavaScript)

style – Specifies inline styling information for an element
src – Specifies the source URL of an embedded content, such as an image or a video
width and height – Specifies the width and height of an element, such as an image
alt – Specifies alternative text for an image to be displayed if the image cannot be loaded
