Transition metals

electrons in the electron sea can move freely, metals conduct electricity very easily, unlike molecules, where the electrons are more localized. Metal atoms can move past each other more easily than those in ionic compounds allowing the metal to be hammered into sheets or drawn into wire. Different metals can be combined very easily to make alloys, which can have much different physical properties from their constituent metals. nickel, and other metals are also often added to iron to make steels…

exists as a crucial factor within the world’s scientific realm. This bluish-white, lustrous metal was previously used in various industrial alloys and for medicinal purposes as early as 2,500 years ago by the Romans and Palestinians (“Zinc,” 2016). Greater rates of zinc production then began in India during the 13th century by heating mineral calamine with wool, yet no reference to it being its own discrete metal with its own scientific properties was made until years later (“Zinc,” 2016).…

made clothing out of. In the highlands there were many precious metals that they made jewelry out of. They traveled on the rivers, the Usumacinta and the Grijalva, for trade and transportation.…

α-FePO4 is present at pretty low degree Celsius. It is also a transition metal as it is in the d-block in the periodic table. It can be studied at many different temperature which range from 294K to 1073K with the use of neutron powder diffraction. When there is an increase in pressure, it will lead to a phase change. This causes the octahedral Fe centres to become denser. It will thus lead to the formation of β-FePO4. This transition of α-FePO4 to…

“It’s just a car,” they all say. Only some will understand the attachment oneself can get towards their vehicle. How could you be attached to it? It’s a materialistic thing that will be non-existent in due time. A bunch of metal, rubber, and wiring put together is really all that a car is. This concoction of resources gives me an explosion of emotions that are priceless and very desirable. All it takes is one click of a button and a step inside to unlock these feelings. To me, my car will always…

Have you ever wondered where criminals go when they’re on the run? If you thought a majority of them were living abroad, you’ll be surprised to know there is a community of criminals living in a desert in Southern California. Chocolate Mountain Metal offers an intimate look into this community and beautifully captures why people have decided to reside there. Located in Chocolate Mountain Gunnery Range, which happens to be one of largest active bombing ranges in the U.S, this community has…

is a lot of controversy over the effectiveness of mud pits. A big problem is the negative effect they have on wildlife and the environment around it. As a solution to this problem, a proposition I have come up with is to replace all these pits with metal containers called frac tanks. III. Reason to Listen: This may impact you or somebody you know. IV. Establish Credibility: I’ve been around these pits on nearly every location I’ve been on and they all get pretty nasty and sometimes overflow. …

Transition into the Body: Body Main Point 1: According to an article by Michael Mayo, every time the US makes a penny the government spends about 1.7 cents (Mayo). Because the materials cost more, the government is losing money on them. i. Sub Point A:…

change at various temperature ranging from 294K to 1073K. FePO4's A cation is a transition metal, thus it is not the same as other α-quartz isotopes. FePO4' has α-quartz structure which is tetrahedral when it is at a very low temperature. Under huge pressure, FePO4's structure goes through a phenomena called β-phase which it became a more condensed octahedral structure. Incoherence will be seen during the first order transition. The cell parameters and volume inflates greatly as temperature…

With its advanced scanning process, the new Alfa3 airport security device will not only make airports checks more thorough and private but also less of a hassle. Transition: First I will discuss how the alfa3 scanner works. BODY I. It utilizes thermal imaging for accurate detection. A. In a recent CNN article the creator of the Alfa3, Naomi Alexander stated, “It's a type of thermal imaging, so we see the difference…
