- metal structure and properties
- Properties can either be physical or chemical
- physical: aspect of matter that can be observed or measured without changing it
- hard
- good conductors of electricty
- high melting / boiling points
- High tensile strength (resist being stretched)
- chemical: may only be observed by changing the chemical identity of a substance
- reacting with other chemicals
- flamibility
- heat combustion
- oxidation states
- physical: aspect of matter that can be observed or measured without changing it
- properties make metals useful for many purposes
- iron
- the iron is hard
- high tensile strength
- used in bridges
- copper
- used in wiring
- good at conducting electricity
- iron
- superconductors
- matrials that have little to no resistance
- silver, gold and copper would be one because they are not very good at being super conductors
- when materials go from normal to superconducors
- they no longer have a magnetic filed inside of it
- if a small magnet is brought near a superconductor it will repell
- if a small permanent magnet is a above a superconductor it will levitate
- benefits
- low free power tramision
- super fast electron circuit
- powerful electromagnets
- used in hospitals
- MIR's
- matrials that have little to no resistance
- metallic bounding
- metals have strong metallic bonding. this enables them to have
- high melting points
- high boiling points
- the bonds between the atoms are hard to break
- due to this a lot of energy is need to break the bondings
- when the metals start to conduct electricity the electrons start to move
- certain metals that are good at conducting electricity are :
- silver
- copper
- gold
- metals have strong metallic bonding. this enables them to have
- Properties can either be physical or chemical
