No, radium is a hard and brittle metal that cannot be bent easily.
Charge carriers in a metal are electrons rather than protons because electrons are negatively charged and much lighter, allowing them to move more easily through the metal lattice in response to an applied voltage. Protons are held tightly within the nucleus of atoms and cannot move freely to conduct electricity.
Chromium can be cut with a knife because it is a relatively soft metal. Dysprosium, on the other hand, is a hard and dense metal that cannot be easily cut with a knife.
The bond type formed between a metal and a non-metal is typically an ionic bond. In this bond, the metal atom donates one or more electrons to the non-metal atom, resulting in the formation of positively charged metal cations and negatively charged non-metal anions. The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions holds them together, creating a stable ionic compound.
Yes, in chemical reactions, metal atoms tend to lose electrons to form positively charged metal ions. This is because metals have low ionization energies, making it easier for them to lose electrons and achieve a stable electron configuration.
An electroscope can be charged by friction through the process of rubbing a charged object, such as a glass rod or a piece of fur, against the top metal cap of the electroscope. This transfers some of the charge from the object to the electroscope, causing a redistribution of charges within the electroscope's metal leaves.
because coin is made up of insulated metal thats why coin cannot charged
Metal is a good conductor. Any charge will quickly be distributed over the entire metal piece.
No, radium is a hard and brittle metal that cannot be bent easily.
No, a negatively charged balloon would stick more easily to a metal wall compared to a wooden wall due to the higher conductivity of metals. The charges on the balloon induce opposite charges on the metal surface, creating a stronger attractive force.
Yes, rubbing a metal rod with silk can produce an electrostatic charge due to the transfer of electrons between the two materials. This friction creates a separation of charges, with the metal rod becoming positively charged and the silk becoming negatively charged.
Coating surfaces with oil reduces friction by creating a lubricating layer between the two surfaces in contact, which helps to reduce direct metal-to-metal contact and friction. This lubricating layer allows surfaces to slide past each other more easily, resulting in lower friction and wear on the surfaces.
Lubrication does not increase friction; it actually reduces friction between moving surfaces by creating a barrier that allows them to slide past each other more easily. The lubricant helps to smooth out any imperfections on the surfaces, reducing the resistance and wear that can occur from direct metal-to-metal contact.
Oil is mainly used to reduce friction between contacting surface, e.g., metal on metal - not to reduce air friction.
In metal conductors, electrons move because they are negatively charged particles that can flow freely. Protons, on the other hand, are positively charged particles that are tightly bound within the nucleus of an atom and do not move easily in a conductor.
Yes, metal objects can become charged by conduction if they come into contact with a charged object. If a charged object is connected to a metal object, the excess charge can flow through the metal by conduction, causing the metal object to become charged.
I don't think there is such a thing as a "non-conducting metal". All metals are good conductors.
