Post-transition metal packing structure. Tin forms Zintl phases such as NaSn, BaSn, KSn and CaSn. It has good corrosion resistance in air on account of forming a thin protective oxide layer. Pure tin has no structural uses. It is used in lead-free solders, and as a hardening agent in alloys of other metals, such as copper, lead, titanium and zinc. Lead is a soft metal (MH 1.5, but hardens close to melting) which, in many cases, is unable to support its own weight. It has a close-packed structure (BCN 12) but an abnormally large inter-atomic distance that has been attributed to partial
Electrical element Circuit analysis using electric elements is useful for understanding many practical electrical networks using components. By analyzing the way a network is affected by its individual elements it is possible to estimate how a real network will behave. Circuit elements can be classified into different categories. One is how many terminals they have to connect them to other components: Elements can also be divided into active and passive: Another distinction is between linear and nonlinear: Only nine types of element (memristor not included), five passive and four active, are required to model any electrical component or circuit. Each element is
