Karten in diesem Stapel (5)
- 1What are the three basic properties that most metals hold?1) Strong
2) Bendy
3) Good at conducting - 2What three things make transition metals useful for everyday uses?1) Strength and malleable means they can be made into bridges or cars etc.
2) Heat travels well through them- for saucepans
3) Conductivity makes them useful for electrical wires - 3Describe why copper is useful.It is a good conductor of electricity, so it's ideal for drawing out into electrical wires. It's hard and strong and doesn't bend, but it also doesn't react with water
- 4Describe why Aluminium is useful.Its corrosion-resistant and has low density. It can from hard strong alloys
- 5Describe why Titanium is useful.Its low density, very strong and corrosion resistant
