Can a stip of metal or metals bend due to electricity running through it?
Q. In phyics class I saw that a strip of metals made up of two diffferent metals bend because the metals expand at different rates. Is there a metal or metals that bend due to electricity running through them? Is this possible? What kind of metals?

A. any metal which heats because of internal resistances should bend or curl. Extreme heat. I would say ordinary sheet metal of steel would do it quite easily. Copper and other metals maybe not so much. Some metals might just act like fuses and burn open...like copper.

How would the world be affected if precious metals became far more plentiful?
Q. Imagine that a new source of precious metals were discovered, from which they could be gathered so cheaply, and in such great quantities, that the prices of all precious metals per unit of mass were driven down to industrial-metal levels. How would this affect the world economy? What about businesses? How would it all adjust to such a great influx of historically rare commodities?

A. There would be winners and losers. The winners: Scientists that use gold foil and wires in satellites. Electronics producers use precious metals in electronics. Car manufacturers use platinum in catalytic converters. Basically anyone who needs to buy precious metals to make a product. The losers: Jewelers wouldn't be able to make much of a profit. People who own precious metals will see their value decline. Countries on the gold standard would have to break from it. Gold would no longer be used in international trade.

A. Get some tacks from a hardware, brass, steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. You could also go to a machine shop someplace and get them to file some metal for you into envelopes to use. Since the filings are so much smaller the effects will be faster than the tacks. Use a measured amount of each(equal teaspoon or grams per container). Put each of them in a small separate GLASS container with some measured amount of soda. Baby food jars come to mind since they are small. After a few days, the steel one will begin to rust/deteriorate. You might want to use different kinds of sodas to see if they give different effects also. 4 metals, 4 sodas, 16 glasses.

Why do some transition metals have a different ground state configuration?
Q. Why is it that certain transition metals have a ground state that does not fill the S orbital? For example Chromium is 4s1 3d5, instead of 4s2 3d4? What other transition metals does this exception apply to? And how does this correlate with valence electrons? More importantly, what other transition metals have this s1 configuration. I think Cu and Hg do as well.
Asked by Brooks - Thu Aug 6 16:53:31 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Electrons seek the lowest stability level. There is a close overlap between 4s and 3d. Having 5 electrons in d is a good stability, with one electron in each orbital. This is better than having 2 in he 4s That is why Cr is 4s1 3d5. Same for the other elements, if having one less electron in 4s gives them either 5 or 10 in the d level. That is also why some metals, such as Fe, have multiple valence charges. They can get to 5 or 10 in the d.

A. It will make them stiffer but at the cost of making it more brittle. The best example is steel, if one is to add more carbon into steel when processing it it becomes much stiffer, tensile, and ductile. I am not explaining what tensile or ductile mean as I believe knowledge is best found by yourself.

You can test this by taking a magnet (such as those that are used to stick notes on the front door of a fridge) and see if it sticks to a stainless steel item (eg. the blade of a knife) and if it does the same on an aluminium surface (eg. the frame of a metal window).

What Metals Were Used in Torcs to Keep Them From Breaking When Being Put on or Taken Off?
Q. What Metals were used (or do you suggest using) for making torcs (i.e, Celtic)? The metal needs to be flexible enough to open and put on the neck, but strong enough to maintain its shape without breaking from the stress. What metals were used to achieve this?
Asked by Celtica - Tue Mar 9 15:17:44 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. There are torcs that have hinges on them, but one of the most common types is braided wire or twisted rods. These will hold their shape well. There are also torcs that have terminals that lock together so that they stay close around the neck. From personal observation, don't have overly large terminals because if the torc moves too much when you're running or whatever they can smack down on your collar bones and be quite painful. I do wonder at some of the really large ones that appear on celtic warrior statues, I can't see them as particularly practical. Materials can be gold, silver bronze or iron and these were traditional. Modern ones can be brass or bronze and then coated to stop them oxidizing.
