  2. Molybdenum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molybdenum

    Molybdenum(VI) chloride MoCl 6 is a black solid, which is monomeric and slowly decomposes to MoCl 5 and Cl 2 at room temperature. [ 32 ] The accessibility of these oxidation states depends quite strongly on the halide counterion: although molybdenum(VI) fluoride is stable, molybdenum does not form a stable hexachloride, pentabromide, or ...

  3. Molecular solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_solid

    Molecular solids can be either ductile or brittle, or a combination depending on the crystal face stressed. [5] [11] Both ductile and brittle solids undergo elastic deformation till they reach the yield stress. [8] [11] Once the yield stress is reached, ductile solids undergo a period of plastic deformation and eventually fracture. Brittle ...

  4. Bonding in solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonding_in_solids

    Solids with purely metallic bonding are characteristically ductile and, in their pure forms, have low strength; melting points can [inconsistent] be very low (e.g., Mercury melts at 234 K (−39 °C). These properties are consequences of the non-directional and non-polar nature of metallic bonding, which allows atoms (and planes of atoms in a ...

  5. Properties of metals, metalloids and nonmetals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_metals...

    Some nonmetals (black P, S, and Se) are brittle solids at room temperature (although each of these also have malleable, pliable or ductile allotropes). From left to right in the periodic table, the nonmetals can be divided into the reactive nonmetals and the noble gases. The reactive nonmetals near the metalloids show some incipient metallic ...

  6. Molybdenum disulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molybdenum_disulfide

    Molybdenum disulfide (or moly) is an inorganic compound composed of molybdenum and sulfur. Its chemical formula is MoS 2. The compound is classified as a transition metal dichalcogenide. It is a silvery black solid that occurs as the mineral molybdenite, the principal ore for molybdenum. [6] MoS 2 is relatively unreactive.

  7. Superplasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superplasticity

    The two most common chemical bonds for ceramic materials are covalent and ionic. For metals, the chemical bond is called the metallic bond. The bonding of atoms together is much stronger in covalent and ionic bonding than in metallic. That is why, generally speaking, metals are ductile and ceramics are brittle.

  8. Shaped charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaped_charge

    Liners have been made from many materials, including various metals [48] and glass. The deepest penetrations are achieved with a dense, ductile metal, and a very common choice has been copper. For some modern anti-armor weapons, molybdenum and pseudo-alloys of tungsten filler and copper binder (9:1, thus density is ≈18 Mg/m 3) have

  9. Ductility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductility

    Some metals that are generally described as ductile include gold and copper, while platinum is the most ductile of all metals in pure form. [4] However, not all metals experience ductile failure as some can be characterized with brittle failure like cast iron. Polymers generally can be viewed as ductile materials as they typically allow for ...
