Many common powders made in industry are combustible; particularly metals or organic materials such as flour. Since powders have a very high surface area, they can combust with explosive force once ignited. Facilities such as flour mills can be vulnerable to such explosions without proper dust mitigation efforts.
Some metals become especially dangerous in powdered form, notably titanium.

What is the bonding process for powdered metals?
The process is called sintering and is based on atoms diffusion.
Is it possible for non metals and metals to form non polar covalent?
Yes, it is possible.
What metal reacts with water to cause an explosion?
there are some alkali metals. It can be sodium or potassium.
How can you tell that fireworks exploded during a typical Fourth of July display don't all contain exactly the same ingredients?
because the explosion is a different color. different metals burn different colors.
Why are reactive metals dangerous?
reactive metals are typically contained in the alkali metal catagory. these can be dangerous because the give away their vallence electron to the H2O molocule causing and increase in heat and also the seperation of the atoms. in simple terms, these alkali metals explode on contact with water. lithium is the least reactive, then sodium, then potassium, then rubidium, then cesium. throwing larga amounts of these in water too close to you can result in death by explosion
What is powdered metalurgy?
Powdered metallurgy is the process of mixing elements in powdered form and compacting them. The compacted form is then heated to form different shapes of metals.

Is it possible for metals and non metals to form polar?
Yes, it is possible.
Is it possible for metals and non metals to form polar covalent?
Yes, it is possible.
Is it possible for non metals and metals to form non polar covalent?
Yes, it is possible.
Can you change the structual arrangement of metals to become non metals?
No, it is not possible.
What is the property of metals that makes possible the cold deformation of metals?
Its the Plasticity.
It is possible that rice pulling property in non metals?
yEs possible yEs possible
What metal reacts with water to cause an explosion?
there are some alkali metals. It can be sodium or potassium.
Is it possible for metals and non metals to form polar bond?
No. The difference in electronegativity is too great.
Which Metals are used to make the colors in fireworks?
Examples: - Sr, Li as carbonates - Na, Cs, K, Rb as nitrates - Ca, Ba, Cu as chlorides - powdered metals as Ti, Al, Be, Mg, Fe etc.
The majority of elements in the periodic table are?
Metals (as opposed to non-metals and semi-metals) or solids (as opposed to liquids and gases). There could possible be more answers as your questions is not very specific.
