What element forms a diatomic molecule and is a major constituent of air?
nitrogen
When metals are burned in the air they form new substance what are these new substance called?
When metals burn in air they form metal oxides.
What happens when the alkali metals react with chlorine?
They metals are stored in oil to minimize the reactivity with air. When alkali metals react with air, they quickly tarnish after begin cut, they burn easily.
Are non-metals or metals better conductors of electricity which one is most conductive?
Energy is transfered by molecules colliding with each other. The closer the molecules are, the better they conduct energy. That is why air is a bad conductor and copper is. The molecules in copper are much closer than air molecules. Aluminum is also a bad conductor, because it is not very dense.
How layer of beryllium oxide is formed on the surface of beryllium?
Contact with oxygen in the air rapidly oxidizes most metals, including beryllium.
What is the chemical name of the product when metals react with air?
The most prominent constituent in the atmosphere which reacts with some metals, though not all, is oxygen. The resultant chemical would be an oxide of the metal concerned.
What is major constituent of air?
The major constituent of air is Nitrogen which is 78%
What constituent of air acts as a diluent?
nitrogen
What is the major constituents of air?
The major constituent of air is Nitrogen which is 78%
What air that gives rust to metals?
Explosure to moist air will form rust on metals.
What element forms a diatomic molecule and is a major constituent of air?
nitrogen
Why do metals react with only oxygen when burnt in the air?
Oxygen is the most reactive component of air. So for nearly all metals that burn in air only the oxide is formed. There is one exception magnesium burns in air to form the oxide and also traces of nitride.
Why white light is not dispersed in air?
Because all the constituent colors of white light have same speed so, refractive index for the constituent colors are same for air as a result dispersion doesn't occur.
What are Georgia's manufactured goods?
Most of Georgia's goods are air crafts copper metals machinery
What is the official name for secondhand smoke?
air pollution Passive smoking or passive inhalation.
The gas in the air that reacts with metals easily is?
Nitrogen, is the most reactive gas that can be found abundantly in the air...
Are all metals denser than air?
Yes all metals including Lithium, are denser than air.
