Which two families of elements often combine to form ''salts''?
The family that combines with metals to form salts is the halogen family. There are other nonmetals that can be mixed with metals to form salts, but halogens are the most common.
What are metals that been mixed together called?
Alloys
Why other metals are mixed for making medals?
Alloys made by mixing metals together often have more desirable properties than pure metals. Pure gold, for example, is very soft and easily damaged. Bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, is also harder than pure copper.
Are semi-metals the same as mixed metals?
They are usually called metalloids. They are in the middle of being a metal and a non-metal
What are mixed up metals?
Alloys are a mix of more than one metal.
Why is silver often mixed with other metals?
because it is an harding agent
What are some properties of mixed metals?
There are a number of physical properties that can be present in meted metals. These metals are often very dull in appearance for example.
Explain why other elements are often mixed with metals to make alloys?
Alloys have improved features compared with single metals.
Is a piece of silver a mixture?
If it is pure Silver, then no, it would be an element. However, pure metals are often hard to come by because they have properties that can be undesirable, e.g. they're too soft or too brittle. Because of this, metals are often mixed and are considered alloys, a mixture of metals.
What are mixed metals?
Mixing metals we can obtain alloys or inter-metallic compounds.
What properties of metals allow them to be recycled?
they can be melted, mixed with other metals(alloys)
What is the name of mixed base metals?
the answer is alloy
Is brass and steel are mixed metals?
Yes.
When 2 metals are mixed together does this make a compound?
No: Two metals mixed together form a special kind of homogeneous mixture called an "alloy".
Lanthanides are often mixed with more common metals to make what?
Lanthanides are often mixed with more common metals to make alloys. These alloys are known for their unique properties, such as high strength, high temperature resistance, and magnetic characteristics. One common example is the use of lanthanum in combination with iron and boron to make permanent magnets.
Which two families of elements often combine to form ''salts''?
The family that combines with metals to form salts is the halogen family. There are other nonmetals that can be mixed with metals to form salts, but halogens are the most common.
Why are metals usually more useful when they are mixed?
Metals are usually more useful when mixed because alloying can improve their mechanical properties, such as strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. By combining different metals, it is possible to create alloys with a wide range of properties tailored to specific applications. Additionally, alloys often have better performance characteristics compared to pure metals.
