Is rubidium harder or softer than potassium why?

Rubidium is softer than potassium. This is because rubidium has larger atomic size and higher reactivity, which makes it more easily deformable when compared to potassium.


Is electrum stronger than iron?

No. Electrum is a mix of gold and silver, and is much softer (weaker) than iron.


What phase is potassium iron?

Potassium iron is typically in the solid phase, as it forms a compound like potassium ferrate (K2FeO4) or iron potassium oxides (KFeO2).


Which is softer gold or iron?

Gold is softer than iron. Gold is a highly malleable metal, meaning it can be easily shaped and molded, while iron is much harder and more rigid. This is why gold is often used in jewelry and decorative items, while iron is used for more industrial purposes.


If an iron nail is harder than gypsum and softer than calciteapproximately what hardness might it rate?

An iron nail typically has a hardness of around 4 to 5 on the Mohs scale. Gypsum rates at about 2, while calcite is around 3. Therefore, since the iron nail is harder than gypsum and softer than calcite, it would likely rate closer to 4.


Does iron react with potassium hydroxide?

Iron does not react with potassium hydroxide under normal conditions because iron is a less reactive metal compared to potassium. Potassium hydroxide is a strong base that can react with more reactive metals such as aluminum and zinc, but typically not with iron.

What metals softer and more reactive than other metals?

Potassium, sodium, and lithium are softer and more reactive than other metals. They are typically stored in oil or kerosene to prevent them from reacting with moisture in the air.


Why is copper more useful than iron for building?

Copper is more malleable and can be formed easier. However, it is much softer than iron and doesn't carry weight well. Copper is more corrosion resistant than iron is and oxidizes very slowly.


What reaction happen between iron and potassium chloride?

When iron reacts with potassium chloride, a single displacement reaction occurs. The iron displaces potassium in the compound, forming iron chloride and potassium metal. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is 2Fe + 2KCl -> 2K + 2FeCl3.
