Metals may naturally oxidize and virtually always have the same oxidation number. An oxidation number is assigned to an element in chemical combination that represents the number of electrons lost or gained.

Is compounds containing metals always soluble in water?

No, compounds containing metals are not always soluble in water. The solubility of a metal compound in water depends on various factors such as the specific metal, the anion present in the compound, and the conditions such as temperature and pressure. Some metal compounds are soluble in water, while others are insoluble.


Are there any metals that attract each other like magnets?

Magnetism is a condition of being, not a type of metal, and metals don't typically attract metals. Anything containing iron can become magnetized. All it takes is exposing it to a magnet or applying a DC current to a coil wrapped around it.


What is a type of element whose physical properties are generally opposite those of metals?

These are called nonmetals (e.g. carbon, phosphorus, sulfur)Metals (such as gold, titanium, and cobalt) are generally lustrous, malleable, and can conduct electricity. Nonmetals are dull, extremely brittle, and are usually (but not always) non-conductive.


Is water vapor always present in the atmosphere?

Yes, water vapor is a naturally occurring component of the Earth's atmosphere. Its presence can vary depending on factors such as temperature and location.


What is a continuous resource?

A continuous resource is a natural resource that can be replenished or regenerated at a rate equal to or greater than its rate of consumption or use by humans. Examples include solar energy, wind energy, and water resources from sources like rivers and lakes.

Is a metalloid always a synthetic metal?

No, a metalloid is not always a synthetic metal. Metalloids are elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals, and they can be found naturally in the earth's crust. Examples of metalloids include silicon, arsenic, and germanium.

Which rusts faster iron or steel?

Iron rusts faster in theory, but it all depends on the conditions. Steel is just Iron mixed into an alloy with Carbon and (sometimes) a few other metals. There are many different grades and types of both Iron and Steel, and they all oxidize at slightly different rates. In short, oiled or finished steel will give you a fair amount of rust resistance, but it is always necessary to maintain metals to prevent oxidation.
