Are alkaline earth metal shiny or dull?

Alkali Earth metals are shiny. All metals have a property called luster witch means that they are shiny. All metals are also malleable, ductile, and are good conductors.


What is the hardest sword metal?

The hardest practical metal is high carbon steel. Titanium is lighter, but has more volume with equivalent strength. Most alloys are either too heavy, too brittle or too large to be practical. For example, making a sword of pure diamond would be the hardest type of sword (And certainly the most expensive) yet one decent hit could crack it because it is not malleable enough. There have been experiments with hybrid materials like a carbon fibre tang with a steel blade, but nothing really happening yet.


Give one property of metal foil which makes it a good material to use as a switch?

One property of metal foil that makes it a good material to use as a switch is its high electrical conductivity. This property allows for efficient flow of electrical current through the foil, making it an ideal material for conducting electricity in a switch mechanism. Additionally, metal foil is malleable and can be easily shaped or bent to create the desired switch design. Lastly, metal foil is durable and can withstand repeated use without significant degradation, making it a reliable choice for switch applications.


What is an example of a rigid joint?

the rugs connected to a ladder and the usually metal triangles or crosses of a bridge are examples of rigid joints.


What is non-ductile?

Materials like gold and copper can be bent; they are malleable or ductile. Materials that are brittle and break easily are non-ductile. Conventional concrete is non-ductile (and breaks under stress of earthquakes)(or other tensile challenge). Metal (steel) mesh or synthetic fibers are added to concrete to make it more ductile.

What is a sentence for malleable?

The malleable person is adaptable. (metaphor)Metals are an example of a malleable substance.


Is malleable a metal non-metal or metalloid?

A metal is malleable because aluminium, for example, can be compressed to a thin sheet and copper can be stretched to form a wire. On the other hand, a nonmetal isn't malleable. For example, carbon is extremely solid (it is a component of diamond). A metalloid, though, may be malleable or not depending on it's characteristics. Tin is a malleable substance (at some point) but silicon isn't... it's a rock!

What solid is malleable and does not dissolve in water?

One example of a solid that is malleable and does not dissolve in water is gold. Gold is a metal that can be easily shaped without breaking, making it malleable, and it does not react with water, so it does not dissolve in it.


When describing metal what is the meaning of malleable?

malleable means how bendy the metal is, aswell as how easy it can be shaped


Is copper a non-metal?

No, copper is a metal. It is a ductile and malleable metal that is a good conductor of heat and electricity.


Is mercury malleable or not malleable?

Mercury is a liquid metal.


Is neodymium malleable or non malleable?

Neodymium is a hard, brittle metal and is classified as non-malleable because it does not exhibit malleability, which is the ability of a material to be hammered or rolled into thin sheets without breaking.


Is argon malleable?

argon is not malleable because it is not metal, non-metal elements can't be a malleable. but if it is metal or metalloids possibly it can be.
