Abundance and Extraction of Metals 1. a Mineral - A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid‚ with a definite chemical composition‚ and an ordered atomic arrangement. b Ore - Deposit in the Earth of valuable metals contained in minerals. c Economic Natural Resource Deposit - This is a natural deposit of something that is economically viable to mine‚ refine and sell. Hence the deposit must be big enough to last for a large period of time‚ so that it will make enough money for the

are a non-protein component of an enzyme and may be organic molecules (called coenzymes) or inorganic ions. 2. (A) NAME FOUR HEAVY METALS THAT ARE TOXIC TO HUMANS. Four heavy metals that are toxic to humans are: 1. Cadmium (Cd) 2. Lead (Pb) 3. Mercury (Hg) 4. Arsenic (As) (B) EXPLAIN IN GENERAL TERMS WHY THESE HEAVY METALS ARE TOXIC TO LIFE. These heavy metals are toxic to life because they generally bind tightly and permanently to the active sites of enzymes‚ thus destroying their catalytic

Gold is a soft metal that is largely unreactive. Gold jewellery can lie underground for thousands of years and emerge shiny after that lengthy exposure to air‚ water‚ and other chemicals in the environment. Gold does dissolve in some solvents as indicated below and does react with halogens. The most common oxidation states of gold are Au(I) and Au(III) but there are a few examples of Au(V) (various anions [AuF6]- and [Au2F10]). The Au(III) ion has the d8configuration which gives rise to many square

HEAVY METAL MUSIC WHAT IS HEAVY METAL MUSIC? Heavy metal (often referred to simply as metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in between 1968 and 1974 ‚ largely in the United Kingdom and the United States.With roots inblues-rock and psychedelic rock‚ the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick‚ massive sound‚ characterized by highly amplified distortion‚ extended guitar solos‚ emphatic beats‚ and overall loudness. Heavy metal lyrics and performance styles are generally associated

The transition metals are placed in the centre of the periodic table‚ between groups 2 and 3. They are generally hard and dense‚ and less reactive than the alkali metals. Iron‚ copper‚ silver and gold are important transition metals. The transition metals: overview The elements in the centre of the periodic table‚ between groups 2 and 3‚ are called the transition metals. Most of the commonly used metals are there‚ including iron‚ copper‚ silver and gold The transition metals Common properties

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

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

Chemistry Essay On Metals Iraj Malik 12/10/2012 MYP-5 The International School A metal is defined as a chemical element that is malleable and ductile‚ usually solid‚ has a characteristic luster‚ and is a good conductor of heat and electricity‚ e.g. copper or iron. Metals form oxides that are basic‚ they are good reducing agents and metals have lower electro negatives.There are many properties of metals. The chemical properties are that they can combine together with other metals to form am alloy

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
