Materials Flashcards
Atomic mass
Number of protons + neutrons
Neutrons = atomic mass - atomic number
Electrons
- charge , no mass, out side shells 2,8,8
Protons
+ charge, mass of 1 , found in nucleus
Ie. If have an atomic number of 6 = a mass of 6
Neutron
No charge, found in nucleus, mass of 1
h20
Hydrogen oxide, water
C02
Carbon dioxide
Nh3
Ammonia
Compound
2 or more elements
Properties of metals
- high density
- strong
- electrical conductors
- thermal conductors
- malleable e.g squish cans
- solid at room temperature
Properties of non metals
- poor conductors of electricity and heat
- dull , don’t shine
- low melting points
- low density
Pure metal (base metals)
Made from one element e.g silver
Metallic bonding e.
Physical not chemical bond
Alloy
Mixture of two elements
E.g instead of steel, stainless steel
- better
- improved
Common alloys
Bronze = good conductor, low friction - wires
Brass = highly workable, durable, low friction Instruments
Coin metal = highly workable - coins
Ores
A rock that contains elements that can be extracted
