Explain why copper is used for the roofs of some buildings and magnesium is not.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Scrat [10]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Because of the less reactivity of copper.

Explanation:

As well as being resistant to the elements and thereby less likely to be affected by rainfall, hail, and mildew than other types of roofing, copper is also one of the most fireproof materials available. Copper is also highly resistant to thermal changes and thereby doesn't deteriorate quickly.

Magnesium would also corrode PDQ. Magnesium sheeting would also pose an unacceptably high fire hazard.

PIT_PIT [208]

Increasing temperatures in a reaction increases the kinetic energy of the reactant molecules. This causes them to move fast and hence collide with a higher frequency. The higher the rate of collision between the molecules, the faster the reaction.

Is the photon is in the IR, UV or visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The different types of radiation are defined by the the amount of energy found in the photons. Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio waves, infrared photons have still more, then visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, and, the most energetic of all, gamma-rays.Explanation: hope this helps god bless you
