Metals and Non-metals Elements are divided mainly into two groups on the basis of physical and chemical properties – Metal and Non-metal. Metals: Part - I Physical Properties of Metals:- Hardness:- Most of the metals are hard‚ except alkali metals‚ such as sodium‚ potassium‚ lithium‚ etc. Sodium‚ potassium‚ lithium etc. are very soft metals‚ these can be cut using knife. Strength:- Most of the metals are strong and have high tensile strength. Because of this big structures are made using metals

AP Chemistry Dr. Istone Lab 3: Gravimetric Analysis of a Metal Carbonate Lab Objective: In this lab we will determine the identity of a group 1 metal carbonate compound by gravimetric analysis. The unknown is weighed and dissolved in water and the precipitate is filtered‚ dried‚ and weighed. From the data the formula weight and identity of the unknown metal carbonate is determined. Lab Procedure: 1. Set up the Bunsen burner and ring clamp‚ light the burner and heat the crucible

of reaction of Alkali metals and Alkaline Earth meatals are compared in this lab. The pH of each of the resulting metal solutions are tested and the products of the reaction between calcium and water is discovered. The tested elements are sodium‚ lithium‚ potassium and calcium and each of them were placed in a beaker filled with water. The resulting solutions pH levels were tested with litmus paper. There were more steps for caclium because it is the only Alkaline Earth metal. For calcium‚ the gas

Some common minerals include: * * Silica- (silicon dioxide) most common mineral on earth * Calcite- (calcium carbonate) main mineral in limestone and marble Ore: A naturally occurring solid material from which a metal or valuable

Metals & Non-Metals Metals: Good conductors of heat and electricity. Have shining luster. Malleable (this means that they can be hammered or distorted). Ductile (this means that they can be drawn into wires). Most have high melting and boiling points. Are sonorous (give out sound when beaten). Usually solid at room temperature. An exception to this is mercury‚ which is liquid in nature. Examples: Aluminum‚ Gold‚ Copper‚ Silver‚ Sodium‚ Potassium‚ Mercury. Corrode or oxidize in

The Density of Metals Lab BACKROUND: Density is a constant relationship between the mass and volume of a specific type of matter. Measurements of both mass and volume can be obtained for a metal sample. The relationship can be shown graphically by plotting the volume of a sample on the horizontal x-axis and the mass of the sample along the vertical y-axis. Plotting the values for several samples‚ a linear relationship can be seen for a density (slope=density). PURPOSE: During this lab‚ you will investigate

MATERIALS : METALS AND NON-METALS Y Iron Coal ou are familiar with a number of materials like iron‚ aluminium‚ copper‚ etc. Some materials have been given in Table 4.1. Table 4.1 : Appearance and Hardness of materials Object /Material Appearance Hardness (Shiny/Dull) (Very hard/ Not very hard) similar change if we try to beat a wood log ? Let us find out. Activity 4.1 Take a small iron nail‚ a coal piece‚ a piece of thick aluminium wire and a pencil lead. Beat the iron nail with

Purpose: In this lab‚ we will heat up a metal rod and measure how much it expands. We will calculate its Coefficient of Linear Expansion‚ α‚ and prove the formula for thermal expansion‚ ΔL = αLiΔT. Also‚ we heat up a known volume of methyl alcohol and calculate its Coefficient of Volume Expansion‚ β‚ and prove the formula for volume expansion of a liquid ΔV = βViΔT. Equipment: Hollow Metal Rods of different metals‚ Steam Generator‚ Stand‚ Burner‚ Flexible Hoses‚ Motion Amplifier‚ Micrometer

STRENGTHENING OF METALS There are 4 major ways to strengthen metals‚ and all work because they make dislocation motion more difficult. They also reduce the ductility: 1) Cold work (Strain Hardening) 2) Reduce grain size (Strengthening by Grain Size Reduction) 3) Add other elements in solid solution (Solid Solution Strengthening) 4) Add second phase particles (Precipitation or Age Hardening) • These mechanisms may be combined. • For example‚ the world’s strongest structural material (with
