Chem 13.5 Flashcards
Alloys
Mixture of a metal and one or a few other elements (metal/non-metal)
Usually physical heating, melt and mix
Change when forming alloys
Addition of different-sized atoms to pure metal distorts original regular sturcture
-> slipping of layers of atoms more difficult -> stronger, harder, less malleable, less ductile (physical property change)
Irregular structure -> lower melting point than component metals
Coins
Shopper and nickel for silvery
Nickel and brass for goldish ones
Steel
Iron alloy
95 iron 5 carbon
Harder - bridge construction, building frames
Stainless steel
Corrosion resistant, 70 iron 20 chromium 9.5 nickel 0.5 carbon
Chromium (lll) oxide (rusting only for iron)
Cooking utensils, tableware, surgical tools (non-toxic!)
Alloying expensive but iron abundant so kinda balance out
8 metals, properties and usages
