Class 1 Metallic bonding: Found in metals and alloys‚ 1‚ 2‚ or 3 valence electrons that are not bound to any particular atom in the solid. They drift throughout the entire metal. This results in a sea of electrons. These free electrons result in good electrical and heat conductivity. Coordination number is 8 or 12 (number of nearest neighbors). Ionic Bonding Found in compounds that are composed of both metallic and nonmetallic elements. Metallic element gives up valence electrons to the

On any given day within any organization there are decisions to be made. These may be as mundane as where to go for lunch or what new product to put out on the market. There are several decision-making tools and techniques that a person or group can put to use with brainstorming being one of them. Brainstorming is "a tool for generating as many ideas or solutions as possible to a problem or an issue" (Simon para 1). Brainstorming does not determine the solution that needs to be implemented rather

metals were known at antiquity "gold‚ copper‚ iron‚ lead‚ mercury‚ silver and tin". Later on metals were combined into alloys like bronze that is formed by a combination of copper and tin. Platinum and zinc are one of the few discoveries of metals before the industrial age where an important development occurs for a purer smelting‚ hotter furnaces and a greater control of alloys. Alchemy was a chemical philosophy in order to turn basic metals to gold. It began in the medieval Arab world and the

both causes the higher yield strength into the material. (Smith) 1 In this experiment all the necessary steps to implement a natural and artificial aging is done as follows (Fig 1): In the first step that is called solution treatment‚ the alloy (AL-4Cu) is heated up to the alpha region (Fig 1‚ and Fig 4 Appendix)‚ and soaked there for enough time to get a homogenized solid solution of alpha. Second‚ the Aluminum sample is quenched into water in order to form a supersaturated solid solution

It is alloyed with these metals to make electrical contacts for severe wear resistance and some jewelry. These alloys are also used to improve the corrosion resistance in titanium. It is a versatile catalyst used to remove H2S from oil refineries and other industrial processes‚ to produce ammonia from natural gas‚ and to produce acetic acid from methanol. Ruthenium
