All metals corrode under the right conditions only some more easily then others. as it turn out the metals that corrode most easily are usually also the most abundant.

What are chemicals that eat away metal?
Acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid are commonly used to corrode or eat away metal surfaces. These acids react with the metal, causing it to dissolve and deteriorate over time. Additionally, some alkaline solutions like sodium hydroxide can also corrode metal surfaces.
What information does the metal oxidation chart provide about the corrosion process of different metals?
The metal oxidation chart provides information about how different metals corrode or rust when exposed to oxygen and moisture. It shows the rate at which each metal corrodes, with some metals being more prone to corrosion than others. This information can help in selecting the right metal for specific applications to prevent or minimize corrosion.
Does gold corrode?
Yes, gold can be corrode by the use of specific compounds, temperature and pressure conditions. Click on the link given in the Related questions part to see names of some 'Gold corroding' chemicals.
Do magnets rust in vinegar?
Acids (including dilute acids such as vinegar) are reducers- they will corrode metals. Vinegar may cause accelerated corrosion while (due to high water content) also oxidising (rusting) metals which are prone to oxidation. To accelerate the oxidation of metals, you require a stronger oxidising agent. However, using a dilute acid may enhance the oxidation process in metals which galvanise. Some metals do not 'rust' as they develop a protective oxide layer when exposed to oxidising agents, or metal parts which can rust may contain or be coated with such a metal - types of steel, for instance. An acid may corrode the galvanising layer or metal, allowing the more vulnerable metal to continue oxidation.
What is the pH value of metal polish?
The pH value of metal polish can vary depending on the specific formulation of the product. Some metal polishes may have a pH value around 7 (neutral), while others may be slightly acidic or alkaline. It is best to check the product label or contact the manufacturer for specific information on the pH value of a particular metal polish.
How do you write an essay about Why are some volcanic eruptions very destructive while others are not?
because some have metal
What things corrode metal?
Corrosion of metal is caused by oxygen or oxidising substances, salty water and some medium strong acids
Prperties of metal?
Some properties of metal include good conductors of electricity and a shiny appearance. Some are very sturdy while others are very malleable.
Why is Storing toxic chemicals in metal drums is unwise?
Because some chemicals can react with metals and corrode the drums.
What special properties do metal have?
some are bendier than others, while some are more ductile(they can be rolled into a long wire.)
Why does salt water corrode metal better than regular water?
which reacts with some metals causing it to break down.
What are chemicals that eat away metal?
Acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid are commonly used to corrode or eat away metal surfaces. These acids react with the metal, causing it to dissolve and deteriorate over time. Additionally, some alkaline solutions like sodium hydroxide can also corrode metal surfaces.
Do acids corrode metals?
Yes. Some can only corrode soft things, and some can corrode everything. But in short, all acids can corrode something. It only gets dangerous if the acid can corrode you.
What information does the metal oxidation chart provide about the corrosion process of different metals?
The metal oxidation chart provides information about how different metals corrode or rust when exposed to oxygen and moisture. It shows the rate at which each metal corrodes, with some metals being more prone to corrosion than others. This information can help in selecting the right metal for specific applications to prevent or minimize corrosion.
Which metal never rust?
gold plaitum silver brass and some type of steel are very rust resistant
Does Metallica sing metal?
They used to, prior to the early 90s. Some people believe they still do, while others - myself included - believe they no longer do.
Why do some metals tarnish and some corrode?
Metals tarnish when they react with elements like oxygen or sulfur in the air, forming a thin layer on the surface. Corrosion, on the other hand, occurs when metals react with substances in the environment, such as water or acids, leading to the degradation of the metal over time. The specific chemical properties of each metal determine whether it is more likely to tarnish or corrode.
