Metals make up over 80% of all the elements inexistence.
Metals are structurally important (cars, re-bars for building, window frames, kettles, fridges etc etc).
Metals are chemically important. A HUGE variety of very important chemicals contain metals including salt, most precious stones (excluding diamonds) and... well LOADS, I don't know where to start the question baffles me because the answer is so big!
Metals are HUGELY important for life. No iron means no haemoglobin which means oxygen isn't moving round your body. No calcium means no bones. That is before we talk about enzymes, co-enzyme complexes and movement of ions across the cellular membrane (the last being the basis for life itself).
Metals are catalysts and speed up chemical reactions.
Metals give fireworks their bright flashes and vivid colours.
Metals give colour.
No life would be possible as we know it without metals... no magnesium, no photosynthesis, no trapping of the sun's energy and therefore no food chain and no life.
Buildings... concrete... calcium again.
No batteries. Electricity is generated in batteries by the difference in reactivity between two metals.
No electricity. Carbon in the form of graphite can conduct electricity but good luck building a dynamo out of graphite and nonmetal magnets (which I believe do contain metals despite the name but I could be wrong) and good luck building wires out of graphite along with intricate circuit boards and other components.
Gold and silver... no jewellery!
And in school there would be no group 1 and 2 metal demo, no hydrogen popping from the acid/metal reactions and no Thermit! But, of course, there would be no one to watch them!
What else can I help you with?
Explain why metals react with non-metals.?
Metals react with non-metals to achieve a stable electron configuration. Metals tend to lose electrons to achieve a full outer shell, while non-metals tend to gain electrons to fill their outer shell. This transfer of electrons between metals and non-metals results in the formation of ionic compounds.
Metals that are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are called?
I believe that the answer you are looking for is Transition Metals.
What is the correct list of elemental families in order going from left to right?
Alkali metals, transition metals, halogens or Transition metals, halogens, noble gases or Alkali earth metals, halogens, noble gases
3. Where are the most active metals (alkali &alkaline earth) located?
The most active metals, including alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, are located in groups 1 and 2 of the periodic table, respectively. Alkali metals are in group 1, while alkaline earth metals are in group 2. These metals are highly reactive due to their tendency to lose electrons and form positive ions.
Metals are either ferrous or non ferrous what does this mean?
Ferrous metals contain iron, while non-ferrous metals do not. Ferrous metals are typically magnetic and prone to rusting, whereas non-ferrous metals are usually more resistant to corrosion and often have better conductivity.
What two metals does a battery need to operate?
Two Metals, that are different
Are the non metals not that important?
Nothing in the World is UNIMPORTANT.We need more non metals than metals....our life is the proof
Why do metals tend to lose electrons to form positive?
Metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions because, for metals to gain a full outer shell, they need to lose electrons.
How can you have a shortage of metals you need to run your society when the planet is made of metals?
the planet is made of minerals, deposits are scattered aroung the earth but not evenly.
Where are the metals nonmetals noble gases and semi metals locates?
In various places and in various quantities throughout the universe. You need to be more specific.
What are the benefits of metals being recycled?
We can reuse it for other things that we need.
What is the difference betwwn conductor and metal?
All the metals need not be conductors
What is the most reactive metals that are found in a group?
The most reactive metals in a group are typically found at the bottom left of the periodic table, such as alkali metals like cesium and francium. These metals have a single electron in their outermost shell, making them highly reactive and likely to form compounds with other elements.
When you need to use torch?
You need a torch when you're soldering metals or when you're storming Frankenstein's castle.
Explain why metals react with non-metals.?
Metals react with non-metals to achieve a stable electron configuration. Metals tend to lose electrons to achieve a full outer shell, while non-metals tend to gain electrons to fill their outer shell. This transfer of electrons between metals and non-metals results in the formation of ionic compounds.
What chemical do transition metals need to react with to form a precipitate?
sodium hyrdroxide
Why do metals need to be protected against rust and tarnish?
Metals need protection against rust and tarnish because these processes can weaken the metal, leading to degradation and structural integrity issues. Rust is a form of corrosion that occurs when iron reacts with oxygen and water, while tarnish is a result of metal reacting with sulfur compounds in the air. Both can compromise the appearance and functionality of the metal.
