A astrolabe is a star map drawn on a metal plate?
Yes; An astrolabe is a star map drawn on a metal plate.
Why does aluminum not break when it is shaped?
Metal doesn't break. Aluminum is metal.
What does it mean if a element is ductile?
Ductile metals are metals that can be pulled into long, thin lengths without breaking. Some metals are more easilly formed in this way that others, so some aremore ductile than others. Gold and copper are examples of highly ductile metals. Potassium is an example of a metal that is not ductile.
What means that metal can be drawn into thin wires?
Ductility. A metal can be drawn into wires as the atoms of a metal are packed regularly in layers and they are of the same size. Hence when a force is applied, layers of atoms can slide over one another.
Why Do Metals Break?
usually metal fatigue.
If metal sticks to a fossil does that mean it real?
No, it does not. It simply means that the metal is being drawn magnetically by a magnetic charge in the object. Being a fossil has no effect on this.
Is nickel ductile?
maybe................... or maybe not.............
A astrolabe is a star map drawn on a metal plate?
Yes; An astrolabe is a star map drawn on a metal plate.
Gold is a ductile metal what does that mean?
Gold is a ductile metal means that gold metal possesses the capability of being drawn into wires. A 10gm piece of gold can be drawn into 2km wire. Not only this, gold is the most malleable metal which means that it could be beaten into thin sheets. A gold piece can be beaten into a a sheet which is transparent.
Why don't metal break when pounded into sheets or drawn into wires?
because they are maleable and change shape without breaking due to yield point where material becomes plastic. The metal is strain hardened and becomes stronger
What if a metal is - it can be drawn into a wire?
It is ductile.
If an element has gray luster and can be drawn into a wire what element is it?
it is a metal

What property of metals allows them to be shaped into wires?
The property of metals being able to be drawn in wires is called ductility. The most ductile metal is gold. A wire of 2km can be drawn from a piece of 10g of gold. Most wire is made of killed steel, which has been de-gasified and stripped of impurities. This improves ductility. Metals are ductile. This means they can be drawn into wires. The atoms of metals have the ability to slide over one another. The electrons are delocalized. This means that the atoms are held together tightly but can still slide over their neighbors without losing their electrons and, therefore, do not break apart when drawn into thin wires.
What is the job of the Sheet Metal Break?
A sheet metal break is a piece of machinery it allows bending of sheet metal. There are two types of break, a cornice break and a box and pan break. A cornice break only allows for simple bends where a a box and pan break allows for sheet metal to be made in to box and pan shapes. It can also be referred to as a bending machine or bending break.
The ability of a metal to be drawn out into thin wires is a?
chemical property
