METALS and NON-METALS Metals 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 SETS Possess Malleability They are ductile LT] Does not possess Malleability el Non-ductile in nature Good conductors of heat and electricity Bad conductors of electricity They are lustrous and can be polished They are non-lustrous. Except: lodine. Solid at room temperature. Except: Mercury liquid at room temperature. They can be solid, liquid or gas at room temperature. Melting and boiling points are generally high. Have low melting and boiling points as compared to metals. All metals are strong Non metals are not strong METALS vs. NON METAL Dy Metals are hard eel Non-metals are light substances. Metals are sonorous Non-metals are non-sonorous Metals react with oxides to form metal-oxides or basic-oxides Non-metals reacts with oxides to form acidic or neutral oxides.

(Most reactive metal) (Least reactive metal) MINERALS AND ORES 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+CO ROASTING 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 CO2 ORY 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. 4Fe + 30, + 2H,O » 2Fe,O,-H,O Iron Oxygen Water Hydrated iron(II) oxide (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 OU 4 Coletta Metal gets soft Metals get hard and brittle Gradually cooling, heating less than its Direct cooling, heating at its boiling point boiling point Liquidation 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.

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 When dry ice is heated it is directly converted into gas. Bones contain 58% calcium phosphate. Chlorine gas bleaches the color of flower. Urea contains 46% nitrogen. Power alcohal is prepared from mixing pure alcohal in benzene which is used as a rocket fuel. Urea was the first compound synthesised in laboratory. Vinegar contains 10% acetic acid. Ferric chloride is used to stop bleeding. Cesium is used in solar cells. Sea weeds contains iodine. For artificial respiration mixture of oxygen and helium gas cylinder is used. In cold places, to decrease the freezing poit ethylene glycol is used. Flourine is most oxidising agent. Bisphenol A is a chemical used for progress in food packaging material.
