Is Mercury inert?
Mercury isn't very reactive but it is in no way chemically inert. It reacts with sulphur fairly readily and so sulphur is used to treat mercury spills. It reacts with oxygen to make the fetching red dye, cinnabar. And it reacts readily with the group 7 elements, fluorine, chlorine and bromine. But it is one of the less reactive metals, demonstrated by its nearness to gold and platinum in the transition metals of the Periodic Table.
What metals will ferric chloride not eat?
Ferric chloride is commonly used as an etchant for copper-based metals but is less effective on stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium. These metals are more corrosion-resistant and are not easily attacked by ferric chloride.
Whais the ionic compound of TiBr3 mean?
Titanium bromide.=============Titanium is in it's less used 3 oxidation state.
Is titanium a good conductor?
Titanium is not a good conductor of electricity. Ouch---I have to disagree with the person who posted the answer above. It is correct in one sense... compared to metals like silver and copper, titanium is not a good conductor. Its conductivity is about 25 times less. Yet anyone stupid enough to have stuck a knife in an electrical socket (please dear God don't try this) knows that steel conducts electricity pretty darn well and it has a conductivity comparable to titanium's. So let's compare titanium's conductivity to some other compounds and see what it means to be a good conductor or a poor conductor. Metals are generally considered good conductors. Titanium is a metal and thus conducts pretty well compared to most other compounds. Semiconductors (metalloids) are so-so conductors. Silicon is a commonly used semiconductor. Titanium's conductivity is 10 billion times greater than silicon's. Germanium is another commonly used semiconductor. Titanium's conductivity is one million times greater than germanium. Non metals are insulators---they don't conduct much at all. Titanium's conductivity is around 10,000,000,000,000 times greater than the conductivity of iodine, which is an insulator. Sulfur is another insulator. It's conductivity is around 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 smaller than titanium's. So is titanium a good conductor? ABSOLUTELY IT IS! Is it as good a conductor as some other metals? No. Draw your own conclusion. It has an electrical resistivity of (20 °C) 0.420 µΩ·m. Silver, the best conductor has an electrical resistivity of (20°C) 0.01587 µΩ·m. If that doesn't mean anything to you, don't feel bad. Suffice to say that it means silver is a much better conductor. Divide the two... you get that silver is 26 times less resistive, or, as I said above, ~25 times more conductive.
Is Titanium found usually in pure or compound elemental form?
In nature, titanium is always found as a compound, not as a pure metal. Titanium is highly reactive (although less reactive alloys can be made from it).
Is Mercury inert?

Does a sheet of metal sink or float?
it depends most metals ill sink except for titanium which is less dense than water
What are the main advantages of using a titanium money clip?
The main advantage of using a titanium money clip over other money clips is that titanium is stronger than other metals. Thus, it is less likely to let the money fall out of the money clip.
Is a titanium rings stronger then a tungsten rings?
Stronger is a difficult word to define in terms of metals. What you can say is tungsten is harder than titanium, and as a result of being harder it is more difficult to scratch and going be less likely to tarnish. Hence, why both metals have become very popular as tungsten wedding bands and titanium wedding bands, due to the ability to resist scratching and tarnish better than gold bands.
Is titanium more reactive than sodium?
No, titanium is less reactive than sodium.
Are titanium rings made from titanium dioxide?
Commercial (99.2% pure) grades of titanium have ultimate tensile strength of about 434 MPa (63,000 psi), equal to that of common, low-grade steel alloys, but are less dense.Titaniumis 60% more dense than aluminium, but more than twice as strong as the most commonly used 6061-T6 aluminium alloy.
In bikes is titanium more or less reactive than magnesium?
Titanium is less reactive than magnesium, but it's a moot point. What's labelled as a Magnesium frame is usually a (mainly) Aluminum alloy, with some magnesium in it.
Are titanium necklaces safe to wear if you have a titanium hip?
Yes. Titanium is a metal that does not cause allergies. Gold and Platinum also do not cause allergies. However, Titanium is stronger and less expensive. So you can use all the Titanium you wish.
Why are oxgen atoms neutral?
oxygen atoms are neutral because it has the same number of electrons and protons, which is what makes an atom neutral. oxygen does react with some substances. pure oxygen reacts with fire Oxygen atoms are not neutral they are very reactive. Oxygen molecules are less reactive than lone atoms but as still highly reactive.
Whais the ionic compound of TiBr3 mean?
Titanium bromide.=============Titanium is in it's less used 3 oxidation state.
Does iron reacts with water?
Pure Iron (Fe) doesn't directly react with water, but it will oxidize (rust), especially if the iron is just wet and is exposed to air a lot. I believe iron will eventually oxidize if kept completely underwater too, but as there is less free Oxygen for it to react with down there, it is a longer process.
What is less reactive than alkali metals?
Gold. Titanium. Helium. Neon. Argon. Depends on the chemistry you involve it with.
