What is so special about iron that makes each iron atom a tiny magnet?
It is plentiful, it is cheap to purify on an industrial scale, it is a strong metal useful for many things, by adding a few substances it becomes steel which is even stronger and has better properties.
How is an alloy used?
An alloy is used where a pure metal is not sufficient. As an example, the superstructure of an aircraft is aluminum. By itself it is too soft and does not have the correct properties. So Aluminum is usually alloyed with a small amount ( 2- 3% ) of copper. This makes an aerospace alloy that is extremely useful.
Why are pentdents made from pewter?
pewter is a good metal to make a pendent with as it is an alloy metal (a metal made up from other metals) so it will have the different properties. its is easily melted and can be poured into molds of whatever the artist makes, so its much easier to play with than say silver or nickel.
What makes a substance a special kind of stuff?
Substances become special because they have useful properties. Tungsten has an extremely high melting point, which makes it useful as a filament in incandescent light bulbs. Oxygen supports combustion and metabolism. Glass is valued for being transparent as well as waterproof, strong, and durable. And so forth.
What is the properties of oil to the properties of the elements in oil?
the properties of oil are very different from the element in oil so this makes it easy to solvee
Why is argon has their uses?
Almost all elements have some properties which are useful and so they can be used for that purpose.
How does a metal halide ballast work?
A metal halide ballast works just by transforming the line voltage into much more useful voltage to the metal halide, and by regulating the current so that the bulb will have its useful life at the most.
Where do people use Mercury?
People use mercury because it has useful properties. It is a metal that is liquid at normal temperatures and conducts electricity It is dense (heavy) and so useful where added weight may be needed, as in clock pendulums It is a liquid and so will flow from one place to another
Why is iron so useful?
because it is a hard metal that can only be moved by heat or fire.
Why is magnesium a metal?
magnesium is not a metal but a reactive metal. scientists have divided all elements into two types of category: metals and non-metals to classify them as they have different chemical and physical properties. magnesium has properties of a metal so it is a metal.
Why is the periodical table used?
So you can classify the elements into groups.
2. Which property of plastics makes them so useful but also makes them environmental hazard?
it is biodegradle in nature
