Metals ductile property

Ruthenium and osmium have hep crystal stmetures. These metals have properties similar to the refractory metals, ie, they are hard, britde, and have relatively poor oxidation resistance (see Refractories). Platinum and palladium have fee stmetures and properties akin to gold, ie, they are soft, ductile, and have excellent resistance to oxidation and high temperature corrosion. 

Nickel is a ductile, malleable and ferromagnetic metal. Its properties are summarized in Table 6.7. 

Tungsten i s a highly refractory, high-density metal. It has excellent chemical resistance except that it oxidizes readily. It is brittle mostly because of impurities and is difficult to form by standard metallurgical processes. It can be produced easily by CVD as a very pure and relatively ductile metal. CVD tungsten is used in many applications and is an important semiconductor metal. Its properties are summarized in Table 6.13. 

Thus far, we ve discussed the sources, production, and properties of some important metals. Some properties, such as hardness and melting point, vary considerably among metals, but other properties are characteristic of metals in general. For instance, all metals can be drawn into wires (ductility) or beaten into sheets (malleability) without breaking into pieces like glass or an ionic crystal. Furthermore, all metals have a high thermal and electrical conductivity. When you touch a metal, it feels cold because the metal efficiently conducts heat away from your hand, and when you connect a metal wire to the terminals of a battery, it conducts an electric current. 

Because elaborate equipment is required to test metal ductility, we tested the ductility of the copper, silver, and iron wires in Activity 6.1 indirectly. Ductility is a physical property of metals that allows them to be drawn or stretched into thin threads without the metal breaking. Two of the most ductile metals are gold and silver. One gram of gold can be drawn into a thread two miles long 3 Threads can be used as lines in art. We know that lines in art are used to communicate what we see and feel. A thread, used as a line, can enhance a sculpture or even serve as the sole material for the sculpture. Because many pieces of jewelry are sculptures in miniature, threads of gold and silver are excellent materials for creating attractive pieces of jewelry. 

The hexagonal close-packed (hep) metals exhibit mechanical properties intermediate between those of the fee and bcc metals. For example, zinc suffers a ductile-to-brittle transition, whereas zirconium and pure titanium do not. The latter and its alloys have an hep structure, remain reasonably ductile at low temperatures, and have been used for many applications where weight reduction and reduced heat leakage through the material have been important. However, small impurities of oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and carbon can have a detrimental effect on the low-temperature ductility properties of titanium and its alloys. 

In metals, the typical structure has numerous free-floating valence electrons that surround positively charged metal ions. Since the electrons are free to flow, metals are good conductors of electricity. The atoms in a metal are not tightly bound together (as they are in a salt). Instead they are free to move past one another, which gives metals the property of malleability able to be shaped) and ductility (able to be drawn into thin wire). Ionic salts do not have these properties and will shatter if they are hammered or pulled. 

Silver is a soft, white metal with a shiny surface. It is one of the most ductile and most malleable of all metals. Ductile means capable of being drawn into thin wires. Malleable means capable of being hammered into thin sheets. Silver has two other unique properties. It conducts heat and electricity better than any other element. It also reflects light very well. 

Metals and alloys are malleable and ductile, and they conduct electricity. When a metal can be poimded or rolled into thin sheets, it is called malleable. Gold is an example of a malleable metal, as shown in Figure 9.11. A chimk of gold can be flattened and shaped by hammering imtil it is a thin sheet. Ductile metals can be drawn into wires. For example, copper can be pulled into thin strands of wire and used in electric circuits, as illustrated in Figure 9.11. Electrical conductivity is a measure of how easily electrons can flow through a material to produce an electric current. Metals such as silver are excellent conductors because there is low resistance to the movement of electrons in the metal. These properties— malleability, ductility, and electrical conductivity—are the result of the way that metal atoms bond with each other.

Copper is one of the most well-known metals, and it is used in many areas in everyday life. For instance, the pipes that carry water and waste throughout homes and other constructions are made of copper. Copper s ductile properties allow it to be drawn into wires. In addition, as an excellent conductor of electricity, copper wire is used in homes, offices, and other buildings to transmit electrical energy from wall outlets to electrical appliances. 

Palladium metal, like platinum metal, is silvery-white and lustrous and has malleable and ductile properties. It has the face-centered cubic crystal structure. It forms a fluoride, Pdp4 (brick-red), and other halides Pdp2 (pale violet), a-PdCl2 (dark red), PbBr2 (red black), and Pdl2 (black). Pd metal can absorb up to 935 times its own volume of hydrogen molecules. When the composition reaches about PdHo.5, the substance becomes a semiconductor. 

In metals, the bonding is predominantly metallic, where delocalized electrons provide the glue that holds the positive ion cores together. This delocalization of the bonding electrons has far-reaching ramifications since it is responsible for properties most associated with metals ductility, thermal and electrical conductivity, reflectivity, and other distinctive properties.

Heat treatment of ferrous metals is made in a hydrogen-nitrogen atmosphere with 3 -30 % H2 to increase metal ductility, improve machinability, and alter electric and magnetic properties. 

The Periodic Table is divided into two sections by a stair-stepped line (Figure 2.4). The line starts under hydrogen, goes over to boron, and then stair-steps down one element at a time to astatine or radon, depending on which Periodic Table is used. The 81 elements to the left and below the stair-stepped line are metals. Metals make up about 75% of all the elements. Metals lose their outer-shell electrons easily to nonmetals when forming compounds. Metals are malleable (they can be flattened), ductile (they can be drawn into a wire), and conduct heat and electricity quite well. The farther to the left of the line you go, the more metallic the properties of the element the closer to the line, the less metallic the properties of the element. Metallic properties increase as you go down a column on the Periodic Table. All metals are solids, except gallium, mercury, francium, and cesium, which are liquids under normal conditions. 

Most of the elements are metals. Their general location in the periodic table is toward the left and bottom, as seen in the shading of the periodic table in Figure 2.14. Metals share a number of similarities in chemical and physical properties. Physically, metals are shiny, malleable, and ductile (meaning they can be pulled into wires). They also conduct electricity, so wires are always made from metals. Chemical properties can also be used to distinguish metals. Metallic elements tend to form cations in most of their compounds, for example. 

These metals have properties that you normally associate with the metals you encounter in everyday life. They are solid (with the exception of mercury, Hg, a liquid), shiny, good conductors of electricity and heat, ductile (they can be drawn into thin wires), and malleable (they can be easily hammered into very thin sheets). And all these metals tend to lose electrons easily (see Chapter 6). As you can see, the vast majority of the elements on the periodic table are classified as metals. 

The electron sea formed in metallic bonding gives metals their properties of high electrical and thermal conductivity, malleability, ductility, and luster. 

These metals have properties that you normally cissociate with the metals you encounter in everyday life. They re solid at room temperature (with the exception of mercury, Hg, a liquid), shiny, good conductors of electricity and heat, ductile...
