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

Oxidation & Reduction I. Metal-Metal Ion Displacement II. Halogen Displacement Reactions INTRODUCTION A series of experiments had been conducted to determine the order of displacement strengths of the metals and halogen chosen for the experiments. A displacement reaction is a reaction in which one element(metal or non-metal) displaces another element(metal or non-metal) from its salt solution. In the displacement reaction of metals‚ the more electropositive metal will displace the less

Chapter 15 & 16: Temperature‚ Heat & Heat Transfer Temperature is a measure of the average (not total) translational kinetic energy. ●ex: there is 2x as much total molecular kinetic energy in a 2L of boiling water than one‚ but the temp of the two volumes are the same (average of translational kinetic energy per molecule is the same in each → Internal Energy- the total of all molecular energies: kinetic+potential (SAME TEMP) ● Ex: apply a flame to 1L h2o for a certain time and its temp rises

HEAT GENERATED IN APPLIANCES Why do some appliances produce more heat than the others? Most appliances with high power rating are heating appliances.The heating appliances has a heating element like resistors. The resistorsconvert electrical energy into light and thermal energy . It depends on the resistance of material if how much heat can be produced from electricity. Those devices who produced heat‚ the Nichrome wire is an element who is responsible for heating . when we say nichrome

physics and chemistry‚ heat is energy transferred from one body to another by thermal interactions. The transfer of energy can occur in a variety of ways‚ among them conduction‚radiation‚ and convection. The SI unit of heat is the joule. Heat can be measured by calorimeter‚ or determined indirectly by calculations based on other quantities‚ relying for instance on the first law of thermodynamics. In calorimeter‚ the concepts of latent heat and of sensible heat are used. Latent heat produces changes of
