Four physical properties of metals?
a) electrical conductivity
b) thermal conductivity
c) ductility
d) metallic brilliance
Electron sea?
The freely moving electrons in a metal lattice.
Come back.
Velocity of an electricity
Come back.
Velocity/flow rate? of a single electron
Electrical conductivity in metals: The electrical conductivity of metals __________ with increasing temperature because the higher the temperature, the stronger the vibration of the metal ________ in the lattice and the more hindered the electrons are from moving freely.
decreases, cations
Thermal conductivity in metals: In metals, the freely moving valence electrons are not only responsible for the electrical conductivity, they are also necessary for the transport of heat energy. However, the general correlation between electrical and thermal conductance _________________ for other materials. For instance the highly electrically conductive silver is less thermally conductive than diamond, which is an electrical insulator.
does not hold, does not work, is not true etc.
Ductility in metals: In the metal lattice, there is only one sort of ion (metal _______). When there is a mechanical impact to the metal, the cations are shifted to other positions. But this won’t change the appearance of the metal lattice. Therefore metals are _______ or _______. In contrary, salts are brittle because of the different charged ions in the salt lattice.
cations, deformable, malleable
Metallic brilliance: This metallic property is also based on the “electron sea”. The extraordinary ________ and ______ of the electrons in the range of visible light account for the shininess of metals.
absorbance, reflectivity
An alloy is a solid solution of one or more elements in a ___________. Combining one metal with another/more metal(s) or non metal(s) _______ its properties.
metallic matrix, enhances
The physical properties, such as density, electrical or thermal conductivity of an alloy may not differ greatly from those of its elements, but engineering properties, such as _______ strength and _______ strength may be substantially different from those of the constituent materials. This is sometimes due to the sizes of the atoms in the alloy, since the larger atoms exert a _________ force on neighboring atoms, and smaller atoms exert a ______ force on their neighbors, helping the alloy resist deformation.
Differently sized atoms / molecules interlock well, while same sized atoms do not (ductility).
tensile, shear, compressive, tensile

What is the SI-unit for “amount of substance”?
mole (mol)
How many particles does 1 mol equal?
6.022 * 10^23
Mass of one mole of a substance + unit?
molar mass (M), g/mol
Formula for molar mass?
M = m / n [g/mol] = [g] / [mol]
Fancy words for constant temperature, constant pressure and constant volume?
isothermic = const. T isobaric = const. P isochoric = const. V
Law of Boyle-Marionette?
P1V1=P2V2,
P*V=constant,
if amount of substance (n) is constant
Law of Gay-Lussac?
V1/T1=V2/T2,
V/T=constant,
if amount of substance (n) is constant
