Chapter 8: Manufactured Substances in Industry
What you need to learn in this chapter
In this chapter, we will be learning about manufactured substances in industry. We will start by studying alloys, which are mixtures of metals. We will learn how to describe alloys and compare their properties to pure metals through experiments.
Next, we will explore glass, including its types, composition, properties, and uses. We will also study ceramics, their compositions, properties, and uses, and identify their uses in daily life.
Lastly, we will understand the meaning and properties of composite materials and explore their uses through examples.
