Experiment: How would an increase in the atomic radii of the metals in period 4 affect the time it takes for a metal to react with HCl. Hypothesis: If Hydrochloric Acid is dropped on all of the metals in period 4‚ then the elements with the largest atomic radii will react faster with Hydrochloric Acid because atoms with bigger atomic radii are more likely to give their electron(s)

Common Minerals and Their Uses Aluminum The most abundant metal element in Earth’s crust. Aluminum originates as an oxide called alumina. Bauxite ore is the main source of aluminum and must be imported from Jamaica‚ Guinea‚ Brazil‚ Guyana‚ etc. Used in transportation (automobiles)‚ packaging‚ building/construction‚ electrical‚ machinery and other uses. The U.S. was 100 percent import reliant for its aluminum in 2012. Barium A heavy metal contained in barite. Used as a heavy additive in oil well

some percentage of their electronic waste to China or poor countries in Africa‚ where the waste is “recycled‚” or destroyed and stripped of its valuable metals. Though this seems like a good thing on the surface‚ because components are being repurposed‚ unregulated recycling centers burn or dissolve the plastic components to release the precious metals: a process that releases environmental contaminants into the air‚ land‚ and water that would otherwise remain trapped and inert in landfills (Robinson

A clothing iron‚ also called a flatiron or simply an iron‚ is a small appliance: a handheld piece of equipment with a flat‚ roughly triangular surface that‚ when heated‚ is used to press clothes to remove creases. It is named for the metal of which the device is commonly made‚ and the use of it is generally called ironing. Ironing works by loosening the ties between the long chains of molecules that exist in polymer fiber materials. With the heat and the weight of the ironing plate‚ the fibers are

1.Compare and contrast the crystal structures and crystal chemistry of quartz α-FePO4 and β-FePO4 FePO4 is an extremely distinct quartz as its cation is a transition metal. It is often looked in depth at temperatures ranging from 294K to 1073K. When it is at a relatively low temperature‚ we see the quartz at α-FePO4. It takes on a tetrahedral shape. At higher temperatures‚ the α-FePO4 will transition to β-FePO4 and takes on an octahedral shape. Very importantly‚ the temperature at which this transition

Rust inhibitor that when added to liquids decreases the corrosion rates of a material. The researchers proposed for a rust inhibitor made of extract of squash seeds to prove if it is applicable as an alternative
