Our Overarching Goals:
Students appreciate applicability of science in other disciplines and in everyday life.
Students develop abilities, skills and attitudes that are relevant to the study and practice of science.
Students use the language and conventions of science to explain and communicate scientific ideas
Students recognize that the applications of science may be both beneficial and detrimental to the individual, the community and the environment.
c. Sketch a diagram to show how the atoms are arranged in the alloy and use the
diagram to explain how the alloy has one physical property that is more desirable
than that of a pure metal.
Iron
Carbon
Note: When you are asked to draw a diagram, please make sure you label your
diagrams.
When a different element is added to the pure metal, the atoms of the added
element have a different size from those of the pure metal.
This disrupts the orderly arrangement of atoms in pure metal and atoms of
different sizes cannot slide over each other easily. Hence, this makes alloys
harder and less malleable.
