Therefore, for all practical purposes, the law of conservation of mass is assumed to hold for ordinary chemical processes.

Most structural PMCs consist of a relatively soft matrix, such as a thermosetting plastic of polyester, phenolic, or epoxy, sometimes referred to as resin-matrix composites. Some typical polymers used as matrices in PMCs are listed in Table 1.28. The list of metals used in MMCs is much shorter. Aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and iron- and nickel-based alloys are the most common (see Table 1.29). These metals are typically utilized due to their combination of low density and good mechanical properties. Matrix materials for CMCs generally fall into fonr categories glass ceramics like lithium aluminosilicate oxide ceramics like aluminnm oxide (alnmina) and mullite nitride ceramics such as silicon nitride and carbide ceramics such as silicon carbide. 

The diagonal band of metalloids dividing the metals from the non-metals is one example of a diagonal relationship (Section B). So is the chemical similarity of lithium and magnesium and of beryllium and aluminum. For example, both lithium and magnesium react directly with nitrogen to form nitrides. Like aluminum, beryllium reacts with both acids and bases. We shall see many examples of this diagonal similarity when we look at the elements in detail (in Chapters 14 and 15). 

Table 1 summarizes some of the important properties of the carbon isotopes. Note that only the rare ( 1%), naturally occurring, stable carbon isotope, namely, C, has a nuclear spin and is observable by NMR. The organic chemist is fortunate that 99% of natural carbon is the isotope C with no nuclear spin, so that proton and carbon-13 NMR spectra of organic compounds are not complicated by spin - spin splitting arising fi om adjacent carbon atoms. The radioisotope C is made by thermal neutron irradiation of lithium or aluminum nitride (equation 1). It decays back to stable yN by jS emission, with a half-life of 5570 years (equation 2). Cosmic rays generate thermal neutrons, which leads to the formation of C02 in the atmosphere (equation 1). Metabolism of... 

Nitrides are solids that contain the nitride ion. Nitrides are stable only for small cations such as lithium, magnesium, or aluminum. Nitrides dissolve in water to form ammonia and the corresponding hydroxide. Zn3N2(s) + 6H20(1) 2NH3(g) + 3Zn(OH)2(aq)...
