The more reactive the metal the later in history it was discovered, this would be due to the level of technology and Chemistry knowledge needed for extraction. Document1 Page 2 of 19 17-Mar-16 National 4 & 5 Chemistry N4/5 Metal Chemistry, Electricity & Chemistry, Examples Answers METALS AND THEIR PROPERTIES N4/5 1. Match the following terms to their definitions electrical conductor sonorous flexible lustrous ductile malleable thermal conductor lustrous All metals are shiny when polished or freshly cut flexible Metals do not break – they bend ductile Metals can be drawn into wires malleable Metals can be hammered into sheets sonorous Metals ring like a bell when hit - they do not make a dull thud Electrical conductor All metals conduct electricity Thermal conductor Metals allow energy to flow through them, causing heating 2. Which of the following are NOT properties of most metals? strong magnetic brittle hard high melting point 3. Metal application is based on the properties that the metal or alloy will have. Identify the properties of the metals which are important for the following uses. 1. Copper, iron, steel or aluminium are obviously good conductors of heat and malleable. Copper is one of the best conductors of heat but if you want a pan made fully out of copper it would be expensive for the consumer. Aluminium is also a metal that conducts heat very well and isn't too expensive. Low reactivity is important because acid is produced when cooking. Stainless steel is a good metal because it is tough, so withstands dishwashers and damages. It is non-reactive which means certain acidic foods won't be discoloured, which may be the case with aluminium pans. A solution to this would be a stainless steel outside and have a copper or aluminum core. This way it still conducts heat well, doesn't cost too much and because it only has an aluminum core, the metal won’t change the food. Document1 2. Copper is so ductile because the layers of positive copper ions can slip over each other whilst still being held together by the 'sea' of de-localised electrons. Copper has the best electrical conductivity of any metal, except silver. A good electrical conductivity is the same as a small electrical resistance. Page 3 of 19 3. In 1943, Richard James, a naval mechanical engineer stationed at the William Cramp and Sons shipyards in Philadelphia, was developing springs that could support and stabilize sensitive instruments aboard ships in rough seas. James accidentally knocked one of the springs from a shelf, and watched as the spring "stepped" in a series of arcs to a stack of books, to a table top, and to the floor, where it re-coiled itself and stood upright. James' wife Betty later recalled, "He came home and said, 'I think if I got the right property of steel and the right tension; I could make it walk.'" Flexible, ductile and malleable. 17-Mar-16 National 4 & 5 Chemistry 4. Silver and gold are very soft metals and can be moulded into different shapes they are very pure forms of metals so there are very little impurities. They are not very reactive in open atmosphere i.e almost inert metals. They are of course lustrous. Metal Chemistry, Electricity & Chemistry, Examples Answers 5. Bronze is used because it has the best sound, tone, and resonance as well as multiple harmonics. The tone and vibrato are gorgeous. Other metals can be used but are inferior in sound. The Liberty Bell is bronze. Sonorous. It also has high corrosion resistance. “All that is gold does not glitter, materials are alloys for strength and other desired properties. Steel, an alloy of iron, has various types depending on the alloying elements. It is strong and can withstand a considerable force (high compression strength in comparison to concrete which is Not all those who wander are brittle. That is why concrete is lost….” J.R.R. Tolken 7. Pure tungsten has some amazing properties including the highest melting point (3422 ºC), lowest vapour pressure, and greatest tensile strength out of all the metals. Because of these properties it is the most commonly used material for light bulb filaments. Flexible, ductile, thermal and electrical conductor. 6. Most of the engineering reinforced with steel.) 8. Testing of different material blades like High Carbon Steel, Low Alloy Steel, Bi-metallic blade, High speed Steel blades for their hardness, Cutting time performance, Wear Resistance, Tensile Strength and performance under buckling is essential in the manufacture of high quality tools like a cutting saw. 9. Lead lasts an average of more than three times longer than other roofing and flashing products. Lead is resistant to corrosion from the atmosphere, salt water, most natural chemicals, and UV degradation. Lead is recyclable and can be re-used. Sheet lead can be tightly dressed around junctions and penetrations and is the only material that can protect these areas from water penetration. Lead is able to cope with wide ranging temperature fluctuations, and its malleability ensures no cracking. Sheet lead installation is not impacted by damp or cold weather conditions. 10. Partly because brass does not corrode in seawater and partly because brass is not magnetic and so does not interfere with the compass needle. Malleable and flexible. Document1 11. Strong strength to weight ratio. While the same can be said of exotic metals like titanium, aluminum is much cheaper. Low density 2.70g/cm3. Malleable. Flexible. Page 4 of 19 12. Lead is a fairly cheap metal, which is good for fishing weights that can get lost. It is a soft malleable metal and resistant to corrosion. Lead has a high density 11.3g/cm3. The other metals are not as good as lead but share some of the characteristics above. The reason lead is being replaced is lead is toxic. 17-Mar-16 National 4 & 5 Chemistry N4/5 Metal Chemistry, Electricity & Chemistry, Examples Answers REACTION OF METALS WITH OXYGEN N4/5 Copy and complete the following word and formula equations.

Bubbles of oxygen gas. b) What is the product at the cathode? Molten Aluminium metal c) The anode is made of carbon and burns away (needing to be constantly replaced). What is the product of this burning? Carbon dioxide 9. Here is a diagram to show the metallic structure of aluminium: a) Define what a metallic bond is. Metallic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged atomic nuclei of metal atoms and the delocalised electrons in the metal. b) Explain in terms of structure and bonding why a metal like aluminium has: i) a high melting point - The electrostatic attraction between the positive ions and the delocalised electrons acts in all 3-dimensions, strongly holding the lattice together. Most metals have high melting and boiling points. ii) is relatively strong in tension - apply a force to (something) which tends to stretch it. The electrostatic attraction between the positive ions and the delocalised electrons acts in all 3-dimensions, strongly holding the lattice together. The metal ions can move position, as do the sea of electrons and so allows eventually for the metal to stretch. iii) is a good conductor of electricity - Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. This is due to the presence of the delocalised electrons. iv) is malleable (easily shaped) - During reshaping the metal ions move position, as do the sea of electrons. The metallic bonding is not affected.
