Q

___________

  • don’t exist unless they’re ions.
  • sodium vapor lamps : sodium atoms give off quanta in the yellow spectrum.

LITHIUM - Uses

- medicine 
- aircraft bodies

CHARCOAL and COKE : both have carbon
CHARCOAL = wood burned without oxygen
COKE = charcoal burned without oxygen

STEEL = Carbon and Iron
- the more carbon, the harder the steel

ALLOY: a mixture of 2 or more metals melted together
ANNEALING (softening) : heated up and cooled slowly

HARDENING

  • COOL WORKING/ ROLLING : pound steel into a new shape.
  • HEAT TREATING : heat up and cool rapidly
  • SURFACE HARDENING: put pure carbon onto surface of steel (CASE HARDENING)

BRASS = copper and zinc

BRONZE = copper and tin
