What is smelting process?
A process of melting and decomposing ores to separate the metals they contain.
What does the staircase inside the periodic table separate?
The staircase separates metals from non-metals. The elements on the stair case is metalloids, the metals to the left of the stairs are metals and the elements to the right of the stairs are non-metals.
What are the elements next to the stairstep line called on the periodic table?
Elements to the left of the stair-step line are metals and to the right are the nonmetals.
How the metals are recycled?
Metals can be melted and re-use them.
What does the transition metals mean on the periodic table?
it means they are metals that cant be melted

Metals can be melted and re-use them.
When metal alloys such as silver and copper are melted do the metals separate from each other?
By melting alone metals that have been mixed do not separate out. They would have to be separated by chemical means. Same as making something like a cake. Easy to mix, flour, sugar and salt but very difficult to separate back. Metals unlike food can be separated but not by heat alone
What elements are in alloys?
Alloys are made from a mixture of metals that are usually melted together. In this way brass, pewter, bronze are made. An amalgam which is also an alloy, is easier to make because mercury is a liquid at room temperature and metals dissolve in it.
Production of ferrous metal?
Ferrous metals production process is a complex process. The ore is crushed and the metalcatalyst are combined. And then are heated and melted the metal and the mold is formed.
How are magnets used to recycle metal?
They help separate magnetic metals such as iron and steel from non magnetic metals such as aluminium. Metals have to be melted down at different temperatures so it's essential the less dense metals are separated from 'heavier' metals. Using magnets is a way of doing this.
When you blend two types of metals what is it?
If the metals are melted together the result is called an alloy, if not melted together the result is called a mixture.
What properties of metals allow them to be recycled?
they can be melted, mixed with other metals(alloys)
What does the transition metals mean on the periodic table?
it means they are metals that cant be melted
What metals are elements?
All pure metals are chemical elements; alloys are not elements.
