Are the transition metals stronger denser and harder than the non-metals?
Metals are denser than non-metals. They are not necessarily harder though. Hardness has nothing to do with density - it's down to the structure of the bonded molecules. Diamond is one of the hardest know sustances, but it is a non-metal (a form of carbon). Lead and gold are among the softest of metals yet they are also some of the densest.
Why are alloys harder than metals?
Alloys are not necessarily harder or stronger than pure metals. For example gallium and aluminum form an alloy that is extremely weak. Many of the alloys we know of are stronger than pure metals because those are the ones we find most useful. In most pure metals, there will be gaps in between atoms. In many alloys we fill in those gaps with some other type of atom, adding extra support.
Why percentage of ferrous metals is higher than non ferrous metals?
The percentage of ferrous metals is higher than non-ferrous metals because ferrous metals are more abundant in nature, with iron being one of the most abundant elements on Earth. Additionally, ferrous metals are often used in large-scale industrial applications such as construction and manufacturing, whereas non-ferrous metals are typically used in more specialized applications.
Is bronze as a metal harder than sterling silver?
Bronze is typically harder than sterling silver. This is because bronze is an alloy made from copper and tin, which makes it stronger and more durable compared to sterling silver, which is a softer metal due to its composition of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals.
How do IA and IIA differ the other Group A elements?
base in my experience.... because of the gravity of the earth...
Which element group is made up of shiny solids that are harder than alkali metals?
The group you're referring to is the group of alkaline earth metals. They are shiny solids that are harder than alkali metals. Examples include calcium, magnesium, and barium.
What are the deferances between metals and mirerals?
The differences between metals and minerals include the fact that metals are atoms that are electropositive. Metals are also harder and stronger than most minerals.

Why a bar of the alloy is harder and stronger than a bar of copper?
copper is one of the weakest metals. alloy is pretty strong almost like titanium
What is the Difference between soft and hard metals?
it is a common observation that metals of group 1 i.e., li,na,k,rb,cs and group 2,be,mg,ca,sr,ba are soft.similarly the metals of p-block elements in lower parts of groups are also soft but harder than alkali and alkaline earth which are s-block. the metals of d-and f-block elements are called hard metals.
Is a diamond stronger than steel?
Yes. Actually... a diamond is NOT 'stronger' than steel. A diamond is 'harder' than steel, but it is not stronger.

Are teeth stronger than bones?
Teeth are not stronger than bones. Bones are denser and harder than teeth, making them stronger overall.
What are characteristic properties of alkaline earth metals?
they are harder than alkali metals
What are characteristic property of the alkaline earth metals?
they are harder than alkali metals
Is brick stronger than metal?
Brick will usually be stronger in compression, but metals will usually be stronger in tension.
Is a titanium rings stronger then a tungsten rings?
Stronger is a difficult word to define in terms of metals. What you can say is tungsten is harder than titanium, and as a result of being harder it is more difficult to scratch and going be less likely to tarnish. Hence, why both metals have become very popular as tungsten wedding bands and titanium wedding bands, due to the ability to resist scratching and tarnish better than gold bands.
