final review Flashcards
1
Q
what type of alloy is more malleable and why
A
substitutional alloys are more valuable because substitutional always like interstitial always making the lattice more rigid, so with the holes in the interestices the alloy remains malleable when it is substitutional
2
Q
Is the density of an interstitial alloy greater than or less than or equal to the original metal
A
interstitial alloys are more dense because the empty spaces between the molecules of the pure metal are filled
