What property makes semi-metals useful as switches to turn a small electric current on and off?
The property that makes semi metals useful as "switches" is that their varying ability to conduct electricity.
What are regions are transition metals in the periodic table?
Rephrase the question so it makes sense, okay?
What makes the hardness of a diamond useful?
Most diamonds are used in industry and not in jewelry. Their hardness makes diamond useful as a cutting tool.
Are there more metals or nonmetals?
There are more metals than non-metals. This occurs because of the transition metals group. When looking at a group on the periodic table the transition metals makes up a large portion because they are the atoms that take use of the the d orbital for electrons. The d orbital has room for 10 electrons and therefore there is a large number of transition metals per group.
What property makes semimetals useful as switches to turn a small elecric current on the off?
The property that makes semi-metals useful as "switches" is that their varying ability to conduct electricity.
Why can transition metals be used to make electrical wires?
Transition metals like copper and gold have high electrical conductivity due to their electron configurations, which allow them to easily transfer electrons. This property makes them ideal for use in electrical wires, as they facilitate the efficient flow of electricity with minimal resistance. Additionally, transition metals are ductile and can be easily drawn into wires, further enhancing their suitability for this application.
How the properties of gold makes it useful in the aerospace industry?
because they can be burnt and made into what they wish.
What are the disadvantages of transition metal?
They're just so... transitioney. This question makes no sense. There are no "disadvantages" of "transition metals" in general, you'd have to specify a particular application and a particular metal. To give you an idea of what kind of range of properties we're talking about, iron and gold are both transition metals.
Do transitional metals conduct electricity?
Yes, transition metals are generally good conductors of electricity. This is due to their partially filled d-orbitals that allow for the movement of electrons, which makes them efficient in transferring electrical charges.
Which group on the periodic table has different charges?
Transition metals have different charges because they can lose varying numbers of electrons from their outer shell, leading to multiple possible oxidation states. This characteristic makes them important in forming a variety of compounds.
Why are alkali metals more reactive than transition metals?
Groups 3-12 do not have individual names. Instead, all of these groups are called transition metals. The atoms of transition metals do not give away their electrons as easily as atoms of the Group 1 and Group 2 metals do. So, transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are.
Why transition metals are different than the alkali and alkali earth?
it is because transition metals falls under differen group in the period table. Alkali elements falls in frirst group alkali earth metal falls in second group and the followed by groups are transition elemets
