It doesn't really. Solvent attack is when a solvent reacts with a polymer to break its covalent bonds. Metals don't have covalent bonds. A few very reactive metals react with water, but it's not the same type of reaction.

Why alkali metals cannot be used in voltaic cells?
Alkali and Alkaline earth metals cannot be used in voltaic cells based on water as the solvent because of their rapid oxidation by that solvent.
A substance that does not dissolve in a solvent is said to be what in that solvent?
- Sand does not dissolve in water- Plastic does not dissolve in water- metals do not dissolve in water
What is a common electroplating solvent?
The solvents used to dissolve plating metals often were highly toxic. Cyanide, for example, was a commonly used solvent.
How is alloy and solution related?
An alloy is a type of solution wherein both the solute and the solvent are metals
How are the very reactive metals high up in the reactivity series extracted from their ores?
reactive metals can often be extracted by electrolysis where there ore is disolved into a solvent and an electric current is passed through.
What is the commercial value of kerosene?
- It is used as a jet fuel - It is used as a solvent in solvent extraction of metals, etc.
Is sodium a solvent?
No, sodium is not consodered to be a solvent. In theory molten sodium is a "solvent", and other group 1 metals will dissolve in it and form alloys when they cool.

How does temperature affect the solubilty of a solid in a solvent?
Usually, higher temperature = more soluble in the solvent.
How does the structure of a compound affect which solvent it dissolves in?
Amani
How a similarities and dissimilarities of solute and solvent affect the boiling point of solution?
solute is which we are mixing and solvent is that in which we are mixing solute
How does temperature of the solvent affect the dissolving of solute?
The higher the temperature the faster the solute dissolves and mixes with the solvent substances.
How is alloy and solution related?
An alloy is a type of solution wherein both the solute and the solvent are metals
What are the three that affect solubility?
Pressure, type of solvent, temperature
