c13 Flashcards
what are the properties of transition metals
heat ,good conductors of heat and electricty, dense , high metling point
what are transition metals used a
a catatalyst
what is a ctatylats
substances that speed up the rate of reaction without being used up in the provess
what is corrosion
the destructioj of materials by chemical subtsnces in their environment which act over a period of time
what is corrosion caused by
redox reaction
the mtal loses elctron and is oxidised while oxgyen gains electrons and it reduced
what is rusting
coorison of iron in the presence of water , oxgyen and air
what are the reatacts of rust
rion plus oxggyen plus water
what can prevent resutsing
using barrier methods this can stop water nad oxgyen from getting any contact
what baririer methods can you use to exlcude oxgyen and water
painting
grease and oil
vacume containers
what are the types of scraifical protecting you can do
galvanse
what is galvasing
iron is coated with a layer of snc a more reactive elemnt and xinc will react with the oxgyen and carbon dioixde
what will happen if the coating is damaged or scrtached
the iron is still prtected from rusting
