∙ 14y agoThe metals which resist corrosion include aluminum, zinc, cadmium, silver, gold, Mercury, and platinum. They are mostly found in the 11-13 columns (or, 1B, 2B, 3A) of the Periodic Table -- the area where the d-orbital is full or nearly full of electrons.

∙ 8y agoThere are two methods of protecting a metal.
Either use a 'sacrafical metal' such as nickel in coating iron which will continue to protect even when scratched, but will rust and eventually be used up. The sacrifical metal will have to be more reactive than the one you're trying to protect.
Or use a really unreactive metal, such as gold or platinum, coated all over, but if scratched the oxygen will react with the metal inside.
The transition metal block of the periodic table is your best bet, but consult a reactivity series as well.

∙ 9y agoThe periodic table wouldn't be the best place. The Galvanic Series would be.
The Galvanic Series determines the nobility of various metals. If you put two metals in an electrolyte (which, in most cases when the Series is used, is seawater) the less noble will corrode.

What is the best area of the periodic table to look for a metal that could be used to coat another metal to protect it from corrosion?
Zinc Oxide can be used to protect iron hulls from rusting.
Is oxygen a molecule or an atom?
oxygen is an element on the Periodic Table of elements. This means that oxygen is an atom which could bond with another element covalently to form a molecule
What the effects of galvanic corrosion?
Galvanic Corrosion, is a form of Corrosion that take place when two different metal are placed in contact, or electrically connected, and an electrolyte is present. The electrolyte could be water, rain, humidity, soil or any other fluid that is a good electrolyte. The extent of Galvanic Corrosion is a function of different parameters: -type of metal -type of electrolyte -ratio of the two areas in contact
What does TN stand for in the periodic table. It's on my son's homework assignment and it isn't on the periodic table. Did the teacher make a typo?
I can't find it on the periodic table either, it could be Titanium though. Or it could be as follows, Thallium Terbium Technetium Tellurium Tantalum
What do you have to protect yourself from in a haboob?
You could stay indoors to protect yourself.

Which metal could be used to coat another metal to protect it from corrosion?
Tin could be used to coat another metal. It is done to prevent corrosion.
What groups on the periodic table are the best place to look for metal that could be used to coat another metal to protect it from corrsion?
They transition Metals
What does the name tin mean?
tin is a metal found on the periodic table of elements. it was used extensively before we could process aluminum, another metal on the periodic table.

oxygen is an element on the Periodic Table of elements. This means that oxygen is an atom which could bond with another element covalently to form a molecule
How do aircraft manufacturers try to prevent corrosion?
since metal is a reactive metal,it is not resistant to corrosion(rusting).to prevent rusting we can: 1.galvanize iron.i.e.,coat Zn over iron. 2.greasing.i.e.,coat it with oil. 3.alloying.i.e.,making iron an alloy by mixing it with another substance. (example):-stain less steel is an alloy(Fe+Ni+Cr) and it is resistant to corrosion 4.electroplating
Can old antifreeze cause an engine light to come on?
no, not unless it rusts the radiator and all the fluid leaks out Not likely, but corrosion to some sensors that monitor your cooling system could. Antifreeze should be flushed and changed annually to protect the engine's cooling system from freezing and internal corrosion that can cause premature wear to more expensive parts.
Is liquid metal in the periodic table or could it be in the periodic table?
yes there are liquid metals on the periodic table. for example mercury
Why could a country place an embargo on another country?
to protect its domestic industries from a potential close down in their future
What is the problem with iron bridges?
Corrosion and rust could be problems with iron bridges.
Why do people stick up for one another?
It could be for various reasons; the main one though is to protect someone from harm.
