It is the addition of a minimum of 12% chromium to the steel that makes it resist rust, or stain 'less' than other types of steel. The chromium in the steel combines with oxygen in the atmosphere to form a thin, invisible layer of chrome-containing oxide, called the passive film. The sizes of chromium atoms and their oxides are similar, so they pack neatly together on the surface of the metal, forming a stable layer only a few atoms thick.
Mimosa (cocktail) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For other uses, see Mimosa (disambiguation). A Mimosa is a cocktail composed of equal parts champagne (or other sparkling wine) and chilled citrus fruit juice, usually orange juice unless otherwise specified (e.g. a grapefruit juice mimosa).
Mimosa tree leaves are medium green in color, which nicely sets off the bright pink of the flowers. The tree is deciduous, which means the leaves drop from the tree in fall. They do not change color before they drop. The complex composition of the leaves gives the tree a light, feathery appearance.
