Why are iron and certain other transition metals are used in construction instead of the alkali metals?
Iron and other transition metals are used in construction due to their strength, durability, and versatility compared to alkali metals. Alkali metals are too reactive and unstable in air and water, making them unsuitable for most construction applications. Transition metals can form strong alloys and have desirable properties that make them more practical for structural uses.
What metals are attracted to Mercury?
Mercury is the only metal with mercury in it.
What are the 2 most important transition metals?
The transition elements are placed in center of periodic table. Examples are: zinc and copper
Are transition metals better conductors than alkali metals?
transition metals
How is boron different from the transition metals?
Boron is a metalloid, not a metal. Transition metals are metals.
Are alloys ore of metals?
Alloys are several metals, and possibly some other substances, mixed together.

Can aluminum be combined with metal?
Yes. There are several alloys where aluminium is mixed with other metals.
What are the general properties of transition metals?
Several properties of transition metals:- the form colored compounds (salts)- they have more valences- they are able to for complex compounds- they are paramagnetic- they are good conductors of heat and electricity- they form many alloys
Transition metals are?
Most metals are solids (mercury is an exception), they are mostly conductive to electricity and heat, frequently are hard, dense, with important magnetic properties, they can form alloys, they form cations in solutions, etc.
Could cobalt react to other metals?
Cobalt form many important alloys with other metals.
What chemcial processes can make metals look like gold?
Alloying metals allows obtaining several alloys similar to gold.
Metals include elements and alloys?
Alloys contain metals but also nonmetals.
What metals are attracted to Mercury?
Mercury is the only metal with mercury in it.

What is made from alloys?
almost all the rust resistant materials like wheel whims , huge machinery and the most important some times our utensils too . they are so made due to contact with water which cause rusting in several metals . therefore alloys such as tungsten chromium etc. are used.
Which transition metal is man made?
Alloy metals are man-made using a mixture of other metals. Some alloys include: Brass, Bronze and Solder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_alloys has a very large list of alloys to browse from if you want some more alloys...
