Q

4 extraction methods

A
  1. metal + oxygen —heat—> metal oxide (all except Ag, Pt, Au)
  2. metal + cold water ——> metal hydroxide + hydrogen gas (first three, K, Na, Ca)
  3. metal + steam ——> metal oxide + hydrogen gas (first five + zinc, iron)
  4. metal + dilute acid ——> metal salt + hydrogen gas (first five + zinc, iron, lead)

23
Q

solder

A

tin, lead
has a lower melting point but is harder
for joining electronic parts in circuit boards

24
Q

more molecules

A

higher boiling point
darker shade of yellow
more viscous
less volatile
less flammable
more black smoke produced when burning

25
Q

lower levels to higher levels

A

hotter to cooler
higher boiling point = higher condensation point= larger molecules

26
Q

lower levels to higher levels

A

hotter to cooler
higher boiling point = higher condensation point= larger molecules
