What else can I help you with?
Is sodium hard?
yes sodium is hard because it is salt Improve: No, Sodium can be bent easily and it is a soft metal as potassium
A compound known as cubic boron nitride has a structure similar to that of a diamond what properties would you expect it to have?
Cubic boron nitride would be expected to have properties similar to diamond, such as extreme hardness, high thermal conductivity, and excellent resistance to chemical corrosion. It is commonly used in cutting tools and abrasives due to its hardness and wear resistance.
What are nonfood or nonbeverage uses of sodium?
Sodium has nonfood uses in industries such as textile production, where it is used in dyeing processes; in soap making, where it helps create lather; and in water treatment to soften hard water. Additionally, sodium is used in the manufacture of certain medications and as a cooling agent in nuclear reactors.
What are elements that are shiny and are good heat conductors called?
Metals. They range on the Periodic Table from periods 1-17.
What is the odor of sodium acetate?
Each acid has its own characteristic smell. For example, Acetic Acid smells like vinegar. It is hard to generalise like that. Maybe the name of the acid would help. There are other more reliable features for identifying acids, such as, pH and taste etc.
What is metal define?
A solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity.
What determines that an element is metal?
For example the aptitude to form cations in solution. And generally metals are solids, hard, with good thermal and electrical conductivity, etc.
What would happen if you drop a large crystal of sodium chloride on a hard floor?
It is broken.
Is tungsten a metal or semi conductor?
Tungsten is a metal. It is a dense, hard, and corrosion-resistant element commonly used in electrical and industrial applications due to its high melting point and conductivity.
What combination of factors is most suitable for increasing the electrical conductivity of metals?
Resistivity is a constant for any particular material, and independent of that material's physical dimensions or shape. However, it does vary with temperature which is why resistivity is always quoted at a particular temperature. Variations in resistivity due to temperature change is the reason that the resistance of a material varies with temperature. In SI, resistivity is expressed in ohm metres.
The measure of how easily electricity flows through a material is called?
The measure of how easily electricity flows through a material is called electrical conductivity. It is typically expressed in units of siemens per meter (S/m) or ohm-meter (Ωm). Materials with high electrical conductivity, such as metals, allow electricity to flow easily, while insulating materials have low conductivity.
Is sodium a hard or a soft metal?
Sodium is considered a soft metal. It is malleable and easily cut with a knife.
How do you prove electrical conductivity?
A simple way to prove electrical conductivity would be to measure the resistance of the material under study. The lower its resistance, the better its electrical conductivity. With a modest ohmmeter, an investigator could measure the resistance of a number of things and make a nice table of coparison. It would be relatively easy and require only some basic stuff and a bit of time and effort. The hard core investigator might make a little battery powered circuit and insert various test materials to see if a small light will light up with the designated material making up a part of the circuit. (Note. If you do this, do not use anything but a small 9-volt battery or the like. Applying voltage from a wall socket to anything experimental can be dangerous in the extreme. And it can be fatal under some circumstances. Certainly you can burn down a structure in a hurry by making a bad choice.)
What best describes a metal solid?
Metal atoms held togehter by colvalent bonds
Does hard water conduct electricity?
Yes, hard water can conduct electricity due to the presence of dissolved minerals, such as calcium and magnesium ions. These ions act as charge carriers, allowing electrical current to flow through the water. However, the conductivity of hard water is generally lower than that of saltwater, which contains a higher concentration of ions.
Which is easy electronics engineering or electrical engineering?
Neither."It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The Hard is what makes it great."Tom Hanks, A League of Their Own
Is nickel metallic?
Nickel is a Metal. See my related link post.
