Each metal has its own specific set of properties. Some metals are better conductors than others. Some metals have higher melting temperatures than others, there is even a metal that is in a liquid state at room temperature, that metal is called Mercury. Same metals are more malleable than others. They also differ in weights, in density.
What else can I help you with?
Is silicon a metalliod?
Yes...It shows some properties similar to metals, some to non-metals, and some totally different than these two..!!
What is a mixture of two medals?
An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals. This can create a new material with different properties than the individual metals.
What properties identify metals?
A wide variety of elements fall under the classification of non metals and have different properties. In contrast to metals, though, they are worse conductors and are dull in their solid state. They also tend to have lower densities and lower boiling points than metals.
Why a metal alloy behaves differently to a pure metal?
A metal alloy behaves differently than a pure metal because the different chemical properties of the metals in an alloy both contribute to the alloy's properties. Certain alloys may be stronger than the original metals because one metal may fill a "gap" in the other's structure. Of course, other properties besides strength are also changed in an alloy.
What properties identify non metals?
A wide variety of elements fall under the classification of non metals and have different properties. In contrast to metals, though, they are worse conductors and are dull in their solid state. They also tend to have lower densities and lower boiling points than metals.
How is a metaloid like a metal how is it different from a metal?
Metalloids share some properties with metals, such as conductivity and luster, allowing them to be useful in electronics and other applications. However, they differ from metals in that they are typically more brittle and can act as semiconductors, meaning they can conduct electricity better than non-metals but not as well as metals. Additionally, metalloids can have varied chemical properties, making them more similar to non-metals in certain reactions.
What are characteristic properties of alkaline earth metals?
they are harder than alkali metals
What can gold be combined with?
Gold can be combined with various metals to create alloys with different properties. Common metals that gold is often combined with include silver, copper, and zinc. These alloys can result in different colors, hardness levels, and other characteristics.
What properties do non metals have in common?
Elements that are classified as non-metals are characterized by a tendency to undergo chemical reactions in which they acquire electrons; this compares to metals which tend to lose electrons. In slightly more technical terms, this means that non-metals are oxidizing agents and metals are reducing agents; when you mix metals and non-metals together, they tend to react with each other, in what is sometimes called a redox reaction (reduction and oxidation). Other than that, non-metals are generally softer (or gaseous) and less shiny than metals are, they generally do not conduct electricity as well as metals do, they do not have the silvery color of metals.
Is zinc magnetic and how does its magnetic properties compare to other metals?
Zinc is not magnetic because it is a diamagnetic metal, meaning it is weakly repelled by magnetic fields. Compared to other metals, zinc's magnetic properties are much weaker than ferromagnetic metals like iron, nickel, and cobalt, which are strongly attracted to magnetic fields.
What are two advantages. of using alloys instead. of pure metals?
Alloys (mixtures of metals and other elements) have different properties form pure metals.Two examples:An alloy of carbon & iron males steel which can be much harder than ironAn alloy of copper and tin makes bronze which is harder and more corrosion resistant than either of the pure metals
Why do you use alloys instead of normal metals?
There are different properties in alloys eg brass is stronger than bronze, steel is stronger than iron, more rust proof, they have different color, eg rose gold, different melting temperatures etc
