a thing is made or composed; component or constituent matter. [1] Materials commonly used in today’s industry or in society are commonly encountered materials‚ for example‚ wood (timber)‚ concrete‚ brick‚ steel‚ plastic‚ glass‚ rubber‚ aluminums‚ copper‚ paper and ceramics. Generally‚ materials are classified into three types of groups; mainly metals‚ polymers and last but not least ceramics. Each and every type of the aforementioned group has their very own specialties‚ properties‚ structures

Copper is a transitional metal with an atomic number of 29. Its atomic mass is 63.546. A pure metal found in nature‚ its compounds are usually found as copper(II) salts. Copper is typically a reddish-brown with a shine or glow to it. When it is exposed to air it darkens to a brown color. If exposed to air and water‚ it becomes a blue-green. Its phase of matter is solid‚ with a melting and boiling point of 1084.62 °C and 2562 °C respectively. Copper is soft and malleable‚ meaning that it is capable

Introduction The resistance of a wire depends on certain factors. Some of these variables are listed below: Length of wire Diameter or thickness of wire Temperature at which wire is kept The material of which wire is made out of. The potential difference or voltage. Humidity Cross sectional area. Voltage across circuit All these factors will have to be kept constant except the diameter of the wire whilst doing the experiment to ensure that the investigation is

the most amount of copper after it is subjected to a sequence of reactions. The copper is originally in solid form‚ but the reactions will turn it into free Cu+2 ions floating in solution. The ions will then be regrouped to form solid copper once again. During this process‚ however‚ some of the Cu+2 ions may be lost. The copper will subjected to changes in pH and heat. These steps were responsible for the breakdown and reconstruction of the copper. The percent of copper retrieved will reflect

electrical energy. In the potato battery‚ there is a transfer of electrons between the zinc coating the galvanized nail that will be inserted into the potato and the copper wire that will be inserted another part of the potato. The potato conducts electricity‚ yet keeps the zinc ions and copper ions separate‚ so that the electrons in the copper wire are forced to move (generate current). It’s not enough power to shock you‚ but the potato can run a small digital clock. Materials for a Potato Clock You

Copper-Silver Nitrate Reaction Introduction In this experiment copper wire will be placed in a solution of silver nitrate. This single replacement reaction will produce a blue solution of copper II nitrate and solid silver. By weighing the reactants before the reaction‚ the mass of silver produced can be predicted. This theoretical yield can be compared to the actual yield of silver. Purpose Students will compare the theoretical mass of silver with the actual mass of silver from the single
