Materials exhibit unique chemical properties that determine their reactivity, stability, and suitability for various applications. These properties influence how materials interact with their environment, especially when exposed to chemicals, heat, or moisture. Illustration of various chemical properties of materials, including corrosion, oxidation, and chemical reactions, highlighting their behavior and applications in different industries. Key Chemical Properties of Materials 1. Reactivity Reactivity describes how a material interacts with other substances, such as acids, bases, water, or oxygen. Highly reactive materials, like alkali metals, react quickly with air or water, while inert materials, like noble gases, show minimal chemical interaction. 2. Corrosion Resistance Corrosion is the gradual degradation of materials due to environmental exposure. Metals like iron rust when exposed to oxygen and moisture, while stainless steel and aluminum resist corrosion due to protective oxi...
