Inside the Psyche of Shaun Morgan. By Leslie Terhorst. I decided to video tape my interview with Shaun Morgan front man/writer/guitarist. Of coarse, I ran out of memory, and didnât get the last 10 minutes on tape. Thatâs coolâ¦The pen is mightier than the camera.
The simple answer is that ferrous metals contain iron and non-ferrous metals do not. The more in-depth answer is that ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals each have their own distinctive properties. These properties determine the applications they are most suited for.
This is different from ionic bonding (where no electrons are shared at all) and covalent bonding (where the bonds exist only between two atoms). A metal that you can hammer into thin sheets is malleable. Gold, silver, aluminum, iron, and copper are malleable. Non-malleable metals such as tin will break apart when struck by a hammer. A metal behaves as an array of metal ions or kernels immersed in a âseaâ of mobile valence electrons. Metallic bonds consist of the attractions of the ions to the surrounding electrons.
