    14: Metallic elements and alloys


    1 What type of bonding exists in metals?
    __________________________________________________________________________________

    2 Describe and explain the high melting point of most metals.


    __________________________________________________________________________________
    __________________________________________________________________________________

    3 Explain why metals are good conductors of heat and electricity but insulators are
    not.

    4 A student was investigating how metals form oxides. The student added 1.00 g of
    magnesium to a crucible and weighed the combined mass of the crucible and lid.
    The student then heated the crucible strongly for five minutes before weighing
    the crucible again. The student then repeated the experiment with zinc, copper
    and silver.

    a Calculate the change in mass in grams.

    Total mass of metal, crucible Total mass of metal, crucible Change in mass / g
    and lid before heating / g and lid after heating / g

    Magnesium 28.31 29.97

    Copper 28.31 30.00

    Zinc 28.31 29.31

    Silver 28.31 28.31

    b Explain the change in mass.

    5 Figure 14.2 shows the sword of Goujian, which is dated around 771–403 BC. The
    sword is made from bronze.

    Figure 14.2

    a Define what an alloy is.


    _______________________________________________________________________________
    b What metals are used to make bronze?
    _______________________________________________________________________________
    c Explain why bronze is a better choice to make a sword than pure copper. Include in your answer:
     A diagram of a pure metal and an alloy.
     An explanation of why an alloy and a pure metal have different properties.
