What is the scientific that means it can be squashed?
Hi! Maleable means it can be hammered into shape that's sort of similar to squashed
What is the most abundant metal in the earth crust?
The most abundant metal in the earth's crust is the post transition metal, aluminum. It is found at about 82,300 ppm. It is the third ranked element, with oxygen being first and silicon second.
Most sonorous metal?
yes
The most abundant metal in Earth's crust?
The most abundant metal in the Earth's crust is iron. The most abundant element in the Earth's core is oxygen.
What is the second most reactive metal?
The 2nd most reactive is Cesium after Francium. If you disregard Francium because it is radioactive, then it would be Rubidium after Cesium.
Is brittle metal or non-metal?
Brittle is neither a metal or nonmetal, it is a physical property of materials.Brittle is a property of a material. Most metals are not brittle but ductile and maleable.
Is copper malleable or brittle?
Copper is very malleable.
Is metal maleable?
Most metals are, but some are ductile, and will shatter. For example, steel is malleable because it can bend and form new shapes, while another metal, such as graphite, tends to break or shatter, therefore, it is ductile.
Is brittle a metal or a non metal?
metals
Most metals are what?
None are more metallic. Metallic is a way of describing a metal in general.
Is a door knob can be made out of copper?
No, copper is too soft and maleable to be used for something like a door know. The most common metal for doorknobs is brass which is an alloy of copper and zinc
What makes a metal less malleable?
I am going to put this into simple words. An alloy makes a metal less maleable. This is because the alloy prevents the layers in a metal from moving. It sort of gets in the way.
Why don't metal break when pounded into sheets or drawn into wires?
because they are maleable and change shape without breaking due to yield point where material becomes plastic. The metal is strain hardened and becomes stronger
What is the purpose of alloying steel?
Creating an alloy out of any metal is for garnering the properties of both types of metals. Sometimes for anti-corrosive properties or strenghtening, or even causing a metal to be more maleable while not breaking.
Example of some maleable objects?
* steel * iron
Is gneiss ductile or brittle?
Gneiss is brittle. Actually, very few rocks are ductile by definition. Most rocks are not maleable unless under extreem heat.
Are metallic compounds brittle?
depends on if they are a solid or gas or liquid. If solid then yes, usually the non metal solids are brittle.
