Study Notes
Alloys
- Pure metals are soft, almost unfit for industrial uses
- One metal is added to another metal melt to create an alloy
- Their properties differ from the properties of the original elements
- Alloys are mixtures, not compounds
- Most alloys are not expressed in molecular formulas
Bronze Alloy
- A mixture composed of copper (95%) and tin (5%)
- It is harder than copper.
- Resistant to rusting
- Used in jewelry, medals, and statues
Metal Recycling
- The process of converting wastes into new usable substances
- Some metals like copper, aluminum, and iron are recycled for these reasons:
- Decreasing the abundance (percentage) in the earth's crust
- Difficulty of extracting metals from their ores
- The lower cost of recycling compared to extracting them from ores
