Two metals that are chemically related and that have atoms of nearly the same size form disordered alloys with each other. Silver and gold, both crystallizing with cubic closest-packing, have atoms of nearly equal size (radii 144.4 and 144.2 pm). They form solid solutions (mixed crystals) of arbitrary composition in which the silver and the gold atoms randomly occupy the positions of the sphere packing. Related metals, especially from the same group of the periodic table, generally form solid solutions which have any composition if their atomic radii do not differ by more than approximately 15% for example Mo +W, K + Rb, K + Cs, but not Na + Cs. If the elements are less similar, there may be a limited miscibility as in the case of, for example, Zn in Cu (amount-of-substance fraction of Zn maximally 38.4%) and Cu in Zn (maximally 2.3% Cu) copper and zinc additionally form intermetallic compounds (cf. Section 15.4).

Thiourea masks Cu2+ by reducing it to Cu+ and complexing the Cu+. Copper can be liberated from thiourea by oxidation with H202. Selectivity afforded by masking, demasking, and pH control allows individual components of complex mixtures of metal ions to be analyzed by EDTA titration.

During this procedure, your teacher will introduce the mole concept. Use a periodic table to find the relative masses of all the elements in the molecule CuS04 and K2Cr04, respectively Cu (copper), S (sulfur) and O (oxygen) and K (potassium), Cr (chromium), O (oxygen). The relative mass in grams for any element contains the same number of atoms. This number of atoms, 6.02 x 1023, is called a mole. In the preparation of any 0.1 M solution, 0.1 mole of molecules is needed. A 0.1 M solution, by definition, contains 0.1 mole of a substance dissolved in 1.0 liter of a solvent. 

Copper (Cu) Copper is a reddish metal. All metals are variations of silvery white except for copper and gold. Copper is an excellent electrical conductor. The most important application of copper in a clinical setting is as wires in electronic instruments.

Fig. 3.18. Mechanistic details on the transition-metal catalyzed (here Cu-catalyzed) cyclopropanation of styrene as a prototypical electron-rich alkene. The more bulky the substituent R of the ester group C02R, the stronger is the preference of transition state A over D and hence the larger the portion of the trans-cyclo-propane carboxylic acid ester in the product mixture.—The zwitterionic resonance form B turns out to be a better presentation of the electrophilic character of copper-carbene complexes than the (formally) charge-free resonance form C or the zwitterionic resonance form (not shown here) with the opposite charge distribution ( a to the C02R substituent, on Cu) copper-carbene complexes preferentially react with electron-rich alkenes.
