Metals

able to be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking. (due to cation lattice in delocalized electron sea)

able to be drawn out into a thin wire. (due to cation lattice in delocalized electron sea)

a measure of the ability of the material to conduct an electrical current. Metals conduct electricity by allowing free electrons to move between the atoms.

the ability of a given material to conduct/transfer heat. Metals are particularly good conductors of heat because their cations are very closely packed so the vibrations are passed on very quickly.

occurs when two particle types have opposite charge and there is mutual attraction.

the form of energy due to motion (heat is also motion so thermal energy is a type of this energy).

resistance to electricity, a force that counteracts the flow of current. Increases as temperature increases.

a type of material that, when cooled to a critical temperature, can conduct electricity with no resistance or energy loss.

as ionic radius increases bonding strength decreases.

as ionic charge increases bonding strength increases.

as bond strength increases boiling point increases.

as bond strength increases melting point increases.

any element with an incomplete d orbital

a mixture of chemical elements of which at least one is a metal that retains all the properties of a metal in the resulting material. Usually stronger than pure metals b/c of disrupted lattice.

an allow with a low melting temp made of sodium and potassium. (used in nuclear reactors)

alloys that return to their original shape upon heating

an iron and carbon alloy

an reaction that produces hydrated iron(III) oxide.

a copper and tin alloy

copper and zinc alloy

iron, carbon and chromium alloy

a manufacturing process where a coating of zinc is applied to steel or iron to offer protection and prevent rusting.

an agent that kills microorganisms or stops their growth.
