Abundance and Extraction of Metals 1. a Mineral - A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid‚ with a definite chemical composition‚ and an ordered atomic arrangement. b Ore - Deposit in the Earth of valuable metals contained in minerals. c Economic Natural Resource Deposit - This is a natural deposit of something that is economically viable to mine‚ refine and sell. Hence the deposit must be big enough to last for a large period of time‚ so that it will make enough money for the

Four heavy metals that are toxic to humans are: 1. Cadmium (Cd) 2. Lead (Pb) 3. Mercury (Hg) 4. Arsenic (As) (B) EXPLAIN IN GENERAL TERMS WHY THESE HEAVY METALS ARE TOXIC TO LIFE. These heavy metals are toxic to life because they generally bind tightly and permanently to the active sites of enzymes‚ thus destroying their catalytic

Gold is a soft metal that is largely unreactive. Gold jewellery can lie underground for thousands of years and emerge shiny after that lengthy exposure to air‚ water‚ and other chemicals in the environment. Gold does dissolve in some solvents as indicated below and does react with halogens. The most common oxidation states of gold are Au(I) and Au(III) but there are a few examples of Au(V) (various anions [AuF6]- and [Au2F10]). The Au(III) ion has the d8configuration which gives rise to many square

HEAVY METAL MUSIC WHAT IS HEAVY METAL MUSIC? Heavy metal (often referred to simply as metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in between 1968 and 1974 ‚ largely in the United Kingdom and the United States.With roots inblues-rock and psychedelic rock‚ the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick‚ massive sound‚ characterized by highly amplified distortion‚ extended guitar solos‚ emphatic beats‚ and overall loudness. Heavy metal lyrics and performance styles are generally associated

The transition metals are placed in the centre of the periodic table‚ between groups 2 and 3. They are generally hard and dense‚ and less reactive than the alkali metals. Iron‚ copper‚ silver and gold are important transition metals. The transition metals: overview The elements in the centre of the periodic table‚ between groups 2 and 3‚ are called the transition metals. Most of the commonly used metals are there‚ including iron‚ copper‚ silver and gold The transition metals Common properties

The alkali metals are found in group 1 of the Periodic table. They are very reactive metals and do not occur freely in nature. Alkali metals are malleable‚ ductile‚ and are good conductors of heat and electricity. Alkali metals can also explode if they are exposed to water. The Alkali metals are: lithium‚ sodium‚ potassium‚ rubidium‚ cesium‚ and francium. Lithium The mineral petalite‚ which contains lithium‚ was discovered by a Brazilian scientist named Jose Bonifacio towards the end of the

is made from hardened steel with sharp points at each end. Lines drawn with a scribe are far more accurate than a line drawn with a pencil or pen. A scriber is used to make sharp‚ clearly defined lines on metal. An Engineers Square consists of a metal blade set at 90 degrees to a solid metal block (the stock). Practical uses of an engineer square is a guide for a scriber when marking out lines at right-angles to the edge of the work and a guide to setting up or checking work to see if it’s squared

The last but not least‚ Gillette Metal did not seem to have policies discouraging workers from leaving early or sleep in warehouse during working hour. So Employees in Walt feels free to do such behavior. How should it be done? First‚ retiming the jobs in Gillette Metal by experienced employees‚ such as Vern and Bud so that Walt will know the actual working hours for each job. Second‚ reset piece rate
