Telling Elements Apart Sliver and aluminum look alike…
But…have different properties SILVER n Density: n n n n solid 630 ◦C Conductivity: n n 2. 7 g/cm 3 Melting temperature n excellent Natural state: Density: n 962◦C Conductivity: n n 10. 5 g/cm 3 Melting temperature: n ALUMINUM Medium Natural state: n Solid
Next week we will learn about Density
Density measures how close the atoms are inside the matter
To calculate density you must know the Mass and Volume
