Why can transition metals be used to make electrical wires?
Their high conductivity is why transition metals are used to make electrical wires.
The two properties of metals that pertain to their ability to be drawn into wires are pounded into shape are?
Ductality and malleablity are the two qualities of metals which would make metals' ability to be seperated into wires and sheets respectively.
How do you make a periodic table out of Skittles?
you can't really. But if you need to then you can take the different kinds of skittle colors and make them in the shape of the PT (periodic table) and the sort the colors into alkaline metals, alkaline metals, metalloids, nonmetals, noble gases, transition metals, and inner transition metals. I would reccomend looking at a periodic table with color first.
Why metal is used in electric wires?
The main reason why certain metals - such as copper or aluminum - are used to make wires is that they are extremely good conductors of electricity. If there were no metal in the wires the electricity would not be conducted by anything.Another good reason why certain metals are used to make wires is because they are "ductile". That just means they can easily be drawn through a series of smaller and smaller holes - called "dies" - to make wires of various diameters.NoteTo prevent the wires in an electrical cable from touching together - which would make a "short circuit" - or from making contact with other metal surfaces, the wires must be covered in a good insulating material such as a specially prepared plastic or rubber compound.
Why are metal electrical conductors?
Any conductor can be used but the relative high conductivity of most metals make them prime candidates.
Why can transition metals be used to make electrical wires?
Their high conductivity is why transition metals are used to make electrical wires.
What types of elements make up most of the periodic table?
"metals"
What generalizations can you make about transition metals?
Transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals. They tend to be shiny and conduct thermal energy well.Hope this helps!~ I first I didn't get it either. : )
How do transitional metals differ from the D block elements?
Transition metals make colorful cations. They make compounds with different oxidation numbers.
What things are made of transition metals?
Iron, copper, zinc, gold, lead, and many other important metals are transition state elements. Almost all the metal objects that we have are therefore made from transition state metals. The major exception is aluminum, which is not a transition state element, and which is also used to make lots of things.

Ductality and malleablity are the two qualities of metals which would make metals' ability to be seperated into wires and sheets respectively.
Which properties of metals do you utilise to make a copper wire?
Ductility is the property of metals that enables them to be drawn into wires......
When outside what do you do during earthquake?
make sure your not near any electrical wires or telephone wires
Why are metals use to make wires for carrying electricity?
because metals have de-stabilized electrons.Thus can conduct electricity.
Are the elements that make up the iron triad radioactive or are they magnetic or are they alkali metals or are they alkaline earth metals?
There transition, which is the same thing as magnetic
Which are the element that make up group 3 through 12 of the periodic table?
Transition Metals
