What are the properties of non ferrous metals?

Answer 1

Ferrous

1: the most obvious property of ferrous metals is rust. when ferrous metals are exposed to moist air (not submerged), they react with the oxygen to form a thin layer of iron oxide on top of the metal. in lay terms, this is called rust. rust can also occur in iron alloys such as steel.

2:the second property of ferrous metal is magnetism. iron is the only material which can continually produce a magnetic Field surrounding it without any manipulation or added energy. it also occurs in iron alloys.

3: when iron is reacted with anything, the new compound is usually coloured red ( i think)

other then this, iron has the same properties of other metals;

Other metals

conduct electricity

malleable

ductile

reflective

conduct heat well

relatively high in reactivity series ( i think)

hope it helped

Answer 2

Non-ferrous metals do not contain iron, making them resistant to rust and corrosion. They are typically lighter in weight than ferrous metals, making them ideal for applications where weight is a concern. Non-ferrous metals are also malleable and have good conductivity, making them suitable for electrical applications.

Answer 3

Malleable, ductile, lightweight, and a good conductor.

Answer 4

Ferrous metals are liable to rust and are magnetic. They are often rather heavy, since they contain iron and they can not conduct electricity well, if at all.

Answer 5

Ferrous metal is metal that contains iron. Non-ferrous has no iron.
