Classify each property as physical or chemical.
(a) the tendency of copper to turn green when exposed to air(b) the tendency of automobile paint to dull over time(c) the tendency of gasoline to evaporate quickly when spilled(d) the low mass (for a given volume) of aluminum relative to other metals
You are given a hammer, a battery, a bulb, wires and switch.(a) How could you use them to distinguish between samples of metals and non- metals?(b) Asses the usefulness of these tests in distinguishing between metals and non-metals?
Suppose the densities of two metals are so close together that density is difficult to use to be able to distinguish them within the margin of error (a good example would be zinc and tin). What other physical properties could you use to determine which metal was which? Explain your reasoning thoroughly.
