What do you call metals that contain other elements mixed with them?
A metal that contains other elements to give it specific properties is called an Alloy. Many metals can contain other elements to give the metal specific properties. Steel is an alloy of Iron and carbon. Stainless steels contain various other alloying elements such as Chromium and Nickel.
Does the air contain non-metal elements?
Air contains approximately 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and the final 1% is made up of argon, carbon dioxide and trace amounts of other gases. There is a possibility that air could also contain many bacteria and viruses from humans sneezing.
How many non-metals are discovered so far?
There are currently 17 recognized non-metal elements in the periodic table. These elements lack the metallic properties of luster, malleability, and electrical conductivity. Some common non-metals include oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon.
Is potash metallic?
Yes, It is. The name "potassium" comes from the word "potash", as potassium was first isolated from potash. Potassium is a soft silvery-white metallic alkali metal that occurs naturally bound to other elements in seawater and many minerals.
Which is largeran atom or an element?
That's a difficult question to answer, because elements are made of atoms. An atom is the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element. Some elements, like the noble gases, can exist as single atoms. Other elements, like oxygen, exist as molecules, such as O2, which is composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to one another. Metal elements are composed of many, many atoms joined by metallic bonding.
What is the metal used for making tubings of firetube boiler?
The tubes for fire tube boilers are usually made out of metal composites and can contain lead, steel and/or other metallic elements or alloys. Fire tube boilers are generally very large and many are made for use in locomotives.
How many different elements in a grain of sand?
It depends upon the source of the sand. Mostly sand is Silicon and Oxygen, but it could contain iron and other metallic elements.
Is a metal that contains other elements to give it specific properties?

There are more metallic elements than non-metallic elements?
Yes, 3 or 4 times as many elements are metallic. Note, the whole left AND bottom portions of the Periodic Table are metals.
What is metal salts?
Examples are: nitrates, chlorides, sulfates, phosphates and many other.
How many are the metallic elements in the periodic table?
84 of the 112 elements are metals.
What kind of bond is formed between metal and metal?
The very heart of bonding is the attraction of positive and negative charges. There are three standard types of bonding among metallic and nonmetallicÊatoms. Non metallic atoms that can bond to other non metallic atoms is called covalent bonding. Non metallic atoms that can bond to metallic atoms is called ionic bonding. And lastly, metallic atoms that can bond to other metallic atoms is called metallic bonding.
Does the air contain non-metal elements?
Air contains approximately 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and the final 1% is made up of argon, carbon dioxide and trace amounts of other gases. There is a possibility that air could also contain many bacteria and viruses from humans sneezing.
What rocks are elements?
The major rock forming elements are oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium. Many other metallic and non-metallic elements are also found in rocks. Depends on the rock.
Is quartzite a metal or a non metal?
Neither, "metals" are elements and "non-metals" are elements, whereas quartzite is a compound of different elements.Wikipedia says that quartzite is pressurized sandstone. Sandstone is mostly made of molecules that are (alkali metal)(maybe some other metal)(silicon)(oxygen). Some examples are KAlSi3O8 and NaAlSi3O8. Here, K, Na, and Al are metals, but Si and O are non-metals, and they could all be in quartzite at the same time. (Well actually, Si can be considered something in-between.)
Are oxygen or carbon metallic?
No, oxygen and carbon are, among many others, nonmetallic elements.
