Why doesn't pumice react with acid rain?
Pumice is a pyroclastic compound made up of glass and other elements and compunds. glass does not typically react with low molar acid rain.Amusingly, it is found in cleaners that are used to clean acid rain spots off glass.
Why are the halogens not found naturally in the earth's crust as the pure elements?
The halogens are not found naturally in the earth's crust as pure elements because of their extreme reactivity. Because the halogens are close to having completely filled electron shells, they will often react with other substances in order to gain an electron. As an especially noteworthy case, fluorine is the most reactive of the halogens (and elements in general), and will even react with glass. Therefore, the halogens are found naturally as compounds, not pure elements.
What are elements that can not be found on earth and can be created called?
Synthetic elements are not found in nature but are created in laboratories.
How do you get the symbol of elements?
The symbol of elements can be found on a periodic table.
What elements combine to make glass and concrrete?
Common glass is made from sand, SiO2, Na2O and CaO. Concrete is a mixture of rocks (aggregate), sand, and water.
Is Glass on the periodic table of the elements?
in the shop. this can not be found anywhere else
What elements found in the mirrors?
Most mirrors are a sheet of glass with a highly reflective coating of aluminum on one side
What elements in the periodic table compose glass?
Glass as found in windows and beakers is generically called soda glass and is composed mainly from silica SiO2 fused with principally the basic oxide Na2O. The actual composition of commercially available soda glasses are complex and I advise you to look at the wikipedia article "soda glass" which gives a large table of the elements. Glass is also a generic name for an amorphous solid.
Is a glass window a elements?
Yes
What glass is made from?
Glass consists principally of silica, SiO2, found in sand. This is reacted at high temperature with oxides to form a silicate silica mixture. Coloured glass may have traces of metalic elements, often transition metals, to provide the colour.
Why doesn't pumice react with acid rain?
Pumice is a pyroclastic compound made up of glass and other elements and compunds. glass does not typically react with low molar acid rain.Amusingly, it is found in cleaners that are used to clean acid rain spots off glass.
What element is in the earths crust found in glass?
Since glass is basically silicon dioxide (SiO2), usually known as silica, both elements (silicon and oxygen) are found in the earth's crust.Glass also usually contains Calcium Oxide (CaO) and Sodium Oxide (Na2O) in significant proportions.
Is glass heterogenous or homogenous?
Glass is homogeneaous because you cannot see all the elements mixed in the glass to make the compound.
What are the two elements that make up both glass and concrete?
The two elements present in largest atomic percentages in both glass and concrete are silicon and oxygen.
What elements of glass means that it is not perfect for making windows?
Glass can break easily, and can get marks and scratches

What are elements found?
Elements are found on the periodic table and have a chemical bond
