Properties and uses of metals

What are the properties of metals

Thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, malleable and ductile, high melting and boiling points

Why metals are malleable

Positive metal ions arranged in uniform rows

How metals are bonded

Metallic bonding

What is produced when metal and dilute acid react

Salt + hydrogen

What is produced when metal and cold water

Metal hydroxide + hydrogen

What is produced when metal and steam react

Metal oxide + hydrogen

What is produced when metal reacts with oxygen

Metal oxide

What are aluminums uses

Aircraft, electrical cables, food containers

Why aluminum is used for aircraft's

Low density

Why aluminum is used for electrical cables

Law density electrical conductivity

Why aluminum is used for food containers

Resistant to corrosion

What are coppers uses

Electrical wiring

Why copper is used for electrical wiring

Electrical conductivity and ductile

What are irons uses?

Making steel

Why alloys are used

To prevent corrosion, alloys are stronger and harder

What brass consists of

Zn + C

What bronze consists of

Cu + Sn

What mild steel consists of

Fe + C

What stainless steel consists of

Fe + Cr + Ni

What solder consists of

Sn + Pb

Why alloys are stranger than pure metals

Normally the particles can slide over each other. But when there's another particle , particles can't slide over each other due to the irregular shape
