Q

Triturates

A

To mix

23
Q

Corrosion

A

Is the dissolution of materials in the mouth

24
Q

Tarnish

A

Is a reaction of metal in the mouth from saliva or foods

25
Q

Vaporizes

A

Particles of mercury scatter and float freely in the air at a relatively low room temperature

26
Q

What are the four classes of material
