METALS and
NON-METALSMetals and Non-Metals
There are 118 elements (ref. IUPAC/ International Union of Pure and
Applied Chemistry) known at present
There are similarity as well as differences in the properties of these
elements on the basis of their properties, all the elements can be divided
into metals, non metals and metalloids.
Metals and non metals are categorized on the basis of their
characteristics, such as
MALLEABILITY: It is the ability of a metals to hammered into a sheet.
DUCTILITY: It is when a solid material stretches under tensile strength.
SONOROUS: The ability of a metal to produce sound on collision with the
metal.METALS vs. NON METALS

The natural materials in which the metals or their compounds are
found are called minerals.
Those minerals from which the metal can be extracted conveniently
and profitably are ores.
Relative abundance of metal on earth : Al>Fe>Ca>K>Mg>Ti
Ore of aluminium — Bauxite
Gangue:- The impurities of ores is called gangue. It can be removed
by chemical called Flux. Flux and gangue mixes together to form
slag. The impurities are removed in the form of slag.Metallurgy
The various process involved in extraction of metals from their ores
and refining.
* Step 1: Concentration of ore :-
* The process of removing unwanted materials by different methods
= Hydraulic washing
o It is based on the density difference of ore and gangue. The
lighter one comes at the surface with water and separated
from the metals.Metallurgy
= Magnetic separation
o If the ore has iron impurities, than that metal is grounded and
passed onto a conveyor belt with magnet attached at the ground
level. Thus, iron gets attracted by the magnet and separated out
from the metal.
= Froth floatation method
o It is for zinc sulfide and lead sulfide ore.
co It is based on the principal of wettability.
o Pine oil is added to dissolve sulphide in it and then it comes at the
surface in the form of bubbles and gets separated from it.WV Cehecd UL ea
= Leaching :
o For bauxite(aluminium ore)
o Also known as Bayer-process
oln this, ore is treated with suitable reagent (sodium
aluminium hydroxide) which dissolves ore leaving behind
impurities. This process is commonly referred to as
extraction, particularly in the chemical industry. Three basic
steps are involved in the leaching process: contact,
separation, and extraction.Step 2: Conversion of concentrated ore into metal oxides:-
Vi Cehecl UL ea
Roasting : the process in which the ore is heated below its melting
point in presence of air to oxidize the impurities.
ZnS +202 -> ZnSO4
CuS + 202 > CuSO4
Calcination : the process of heating the ore below its melting point in
absence of air to remove volatile impurities.
Al203.2H20 > AI203 + 2H20
Smelting : Reduction of oxide ore with Carbon at high temperature is
known as Smelting.
Fe203+3C 2Fe+3CO; PbO+C > Pb+COROASTING vs. CALCINATIONS
Crna -4
Ore is heated in excess of air.
Calcinations
Ore is heated in absence or limited supply
of heat
This is used for sulphide ores
This is used for carbonate ores
S02 is produced along with metal oxides
C02 is produced along with metal oxide.
Ex: 22nS+302 gives 2Zn0+2SO2
Ex: ZnCO3 gives ZnO and CO2ORY aie)
It is the corrosion of iron and readily occurs in the alloy steel. The
formation of a reddish brown flakes which loosely adheres to the
iron is called rust.
In rusting, the weight of the iron is increased.

(Rust)Galvanization and Quenching
* GALVANIZATION
= It is the process of coating iron with zinc layer to prevent it from
the contact of oxygen and water vapours.
* QUENCHING
™ Quench hardening is a mechanical process in which steel and
cast iron alloys are strengthened and hardened.
= These metals consist of ferrous metals and alloys. This is done
by heating the material to a certain temperature, depending on
the material.Quenching
This produces a harder material by either surface hardening or
through-hardening varying on the rate at which the material is
cooled.
The material is then often tempered to reduce the brittleness that
may increase from the quench hardening process.
Items that may be quenched include gears, shafts, and wear blocks.
Steel is heated to very high temperature, it becomes bright red and
then suddenly cooled in water or oil, it becomes extra ordinary hard
and brittle.PAYS Tc)
It is a heat treatment that alters the physical and sometimes
chemical properties of a material to increase its ductility and reduce
its hardness, making it more workable.
It involves heating a material above its recrystallization
temperature, maintaining a suitable temperature for a suitable
amount of time, and then cooling.
Steel is heated to a temperature well below red hot and then
cooled slowly which turns it soft.Annealing vs. Quenching

boiling pointLiquidation and Distillation
* LIQUIDATION
= Those metals which have impurities with melting point higher than
metal.
= The material must be heated until one of the metals starts to melt and
drain away from the other and can be collected.
* DISTILLATION
= It is used for the separation of components of a mixture containing
two miscible liquids that boil without decomposition and have
sufficient difference in their boiling points. Ex:- Na, K, Zn and Hg.IMPORTANT METALS

All metals exist in the solid form at room temperature, except mercury.
Gallium and caesium have very low melting points; these two metals
get melt even on palm.
lodine is a non-metal, but it is lustrous (lustrous is the property of
metal).
Carbon is a non-metal that can exist in different forms. Each form is
called an allotrope.
Diamond is an allotrope of carbon and it is the hardest natural
substance known.Facts of Metals and Non-metals
The melting and boiling point of diamond is very high.
Graphite is also allotrope of carbon; it is a conductor of electricity.
Alkali metals, such as lithium, potassium, sodium, are the examples
of soft metals, as they can be cut with a knife.
Nearly all metals when combined with oxygen, it forms metal
oxides.
Different metals have different frequency of reaction; some react
slow, but some react very fast. E.g. potassium and sodium are very
reactive and they catch fire only if kept in the open.Facts of Metals and Non-metals
Therefore, potassium and sodium are kept immersed in kerosene
oil so that they cannot catch fire.
* However, among all metals, sodium (most likely), is the most
reactive metal.
* Anodizing is a process of forming a thick protective oxide layer of
aluminum and it protects from corrosion.
* The elements or compounds that occur naturally in the crust (upper
layer) of the earth, are known as minerals.Facts of Metals and Non-metals
