The alkali metals are found in group 1 of the Periodic table. They are very reactive metals and do not occur freely in nature. Alkali metals are malleable‚ ductile‚ and are good conductors of heat and electricity. Alkali metals can also explode if they are exposed to water. The Alkali metals are: lithium‚ sodium‚ potassium‚ rubidium‚ cesium‚ and francium. Lithium The mineral petalite‚ which contains lithium‚ was discovered by a Brazilian scientist named Jose Bonifacio towards the end of the

Ground state- normal configuration of the electrons about the atom or the ion of an element; stable particle electrons are at lowest possible energy level Excited state- when stable particles are heated to very high temperatures some of the electrons leave their ground state and become “excited”; these electrons move to higher energy levels 3.

is made from hardened steel with sharp points at each end. Lines drawn with a scribe are far more accurate than a line drawn with a pencil or pen. A scriber is used to make sharp‚ clearly defined lines on metal. An Engineers Square consists of a metal blade set at 90 degrees to a solid metal block (the stock). Practical uses of an engineer square is a guide for a scriber when marking out lines at right-angles to the edge of the work and a guide to setting up or checking work to see if it’s squared

without metal. The metals we use in our houses are mostly for keeping them sturdy. Though there is one problem we have when it comes to metals. That problem is that they rust. Metals rust when they are in contact with oxygen‚ and water. They rust much faster when they are in contact with salt water‚ and acid rain. We chose to see what would happen to various metals when they contacted with salt water. When the electrons move around in the salt water‚ it causes the metals to rust. The metals we chose

Density of Metals Lab 1. Purpose The purpose of this lab was answered in 4 questions‚ and their answers are here shown. The density of the metals we used were 5g/cm3. The density of a metal piece does not depend on its size‚ it depends on the total mass and total volume. The most accurate way of determining density is dividing mass by volume. You can’t identify metals by their density. It can help you narrow the options down‚ but you can’t identify a metal by using only its density. 2. Question

Metal detectors in schools pose more of a threat than a sense of security. Every student carries metal of some form on them. Pens‚ pencils‚ notebooks and other school supplies all contain metals. If we try to make schools “safer” by placing metal detectors in the entrance and exit of every school building. With many school shootings and stabbings‚ media and parents have proposed new safety measures. Placing metal detectors and spending extra time on safety management takes time away from class and

renovation‚ most people don;t think about it much before it is time to get a new roof. However‚ there are many great alternatives to asphalt shingles‚ and metal roofing is an option that stands out. Of course‚ when imagining a metal roof‚ the first thing that comes to the many people’s minds is a warehouse or other commercial structure. Metal roofing has come a long way and is so much more fashionable that its reputation‚ and is even being used on high-end mansions.

Ankit Shingala Dr. Campagnolo Chemistry H September 24‚ 2013 Lab on Density of Four Metals Conclusion In this lab we studied the densities of four different metals using a caliper‚ a digital scale‚ and a calculator. Three metals were pure elements like copper‚ iron‚ and aluminum. The fourth metal was an alloy which was brass. The purposes of this lab were to demonstrate that different metal elements have different densities‚ and that alloys have densities somewhere between those elements that

more bonus if they’re doing a quality job as well as getting the work done quicker than others. The last but not least‚ Gillette Metal did not seem to have policies discouraging workers from leaving early or sleep in warehouse during working hour. So Employees in Walt feels free to do such behavior. How should it be done? First‚ retiming the jobs in Gillette Metal by experienced employees‚ such as Vern and Bud so that Walt will know the actual working hours for each job. Second‚ reset piece rate

DRAWING AND ITS PROCESSES Drawing is a metalworking process which uses tensile forces to stretch metal. It is broken up into two types: sheet metal drawing and wire‚ bar‚ and tube drawing. The specific definition for sheet metal drawing is that it involves plastic deformation over a curved axis. For wire‚ bar‚ and tube drawing the starting stock is drawn through a die to reduce its diameter and increase its length. Drawing is usually done at room temperature‚ thus classified a cold working process
