Chemistry of Metals and Alloys Questions

Multiple choice
  1. Sodium

  2. Potassium

  3. Galium

  4. Sulphur

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Gallium has an unusually low melting point of about 30°C (86°F), which is near room temperature. This means gallium will melt in your hand. Sodium and potassium have low melting points but not as low as gallium, while sulfur is a non-metal. Gallium's low melting point makes it useful in high-temperature thermometers.

________ is called a space age metal and used in military jets and spacecrafts.

  1. Zinc

  2. Platinum

  3. Copper

  4. Titanium

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

TItanium is known as the space age metal and  is expected to replace most of the metals used around the industries. However, its expensive and difficult mining process is keeping it from being used so commonly as aluminium or steel. Titanium is found to be stronger, durable and corrosion resistive in comparison to steel. It has the highest strength to weight ratio of all the metals. All these properties, along with its light weight, make it an ideal metal for space crafts and military jets. It is also used in making highly water - resistant diving watches.

______ metal is a part of hemoglobin a biomolecule.

  1. Aluminium

  2. Copper

  3. Iron

  4. Calcium

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Metals are available as micro-elements in our body. They are needed for conduction of nerve impulses, to carry oxygen by blood, to facilitate enzyme reactions and more. So, metals are used in medicine to cure any metal deficiency diseases in humans and animals. Ex. iron is a part of haemoglobin a biomolecule. Hence, it is used as ferrous sulphate to cure some forms of anaemia.
