Why percentage of ferrous metals is higher than non ferrous metals?
because ferrous metals are stronger and harder than ferrous metals thats why they are extensively used in structural application.
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.
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 do you use alloys instead of normal metals?
There are different properties in alloys eg brass is stronger than bronze, steel is stronger than iron, more rust proof, they have different color, eg rose gold, different melting temperatures etc

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.
Which element group is made up of shiny solids that are harder than alkali metals?
the alkaline earth metals

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

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.
What are characteristic property of the alkaline earth metals?
they are harder than alkali metals
What are characteristic properties of 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.
What rock is harder than sandstone?
I am very sure that granite is much stronger and harder than sandstone.
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.
