Crown should break with tradition and expand its product line beyond the manufacture of metal cans and closers. And he had to decide whether or not to get involved in the bidding for Continental Can. The acquisition of Continental Can Canada would make Canada Crown's largest single presence outside of the United States. Also it would double the size of Crowns domestic operations. 2. How attractive is the metal container industry? (Try to use Porter's 5-forces model.) l Bargaining power of buyers

Deep Drawing Process Abstract. The aim of this experiment is to obtain the best parameters for reducing wrinkle defect during deep drawing process. Deep drawing is a sheet metal forming process where a punch is utilized to force a flat sheet metal to flow into the gap between the punch and die surfaces. Due to that, the sheet metal will deformed into the desired shape. Some of the most common outcomes in deep drawing process are tearing and wrinkling or the formation of uneven height at the top rim

Physical properties of Elements & chemical properties of Elements Purpose- The purpose of this lab is to look closely at properties that differentiate metals from nonmetals, and then to see how the reactivity of metals differ within a group and within a period Procedure- (Part 1). First you must put on googles because we are working with chemicals that could damage your eye sight if got in eye. Then you obtain a spot plate and obtain 1 sample of each element and be sure not to use your

INTRODUCTION GROUP 2 (THE ALKALINE EARTH METALS) These elements are categorized as group 2 because they have two electrons in their outer shell, therefore each element in this group will lose two electrons in order to form a 2+. According to RSC (n.d) group 2 elements are all metals with silver-white color. ELEMENT | SYMBOL | No. OF ELECTRONS

In today's society very few people actually know how much copper impacts our lives and quality of life. This waterproof metal is used everywhere from pipes and wires to electronics, to our currency copper plays a vital role in our every day life. This chemical element with an atomic number 29 is also used through micro-nutrients in our own bodies as well as animals and plants. Copper is found in abundances in Arizona which is part of the reason it is apart of the five C's that represent Arizona:

Alkali metals Cations occur in wide variety of important chemicals The metals are all very reactive when pure – strongly reducing Their cations (with the exception of lithium) have low charge densities – often leads to good solubility and an ability to stabilize anions that can not be formed along with any other cation Alkali metal physical properties Element Li Na K Rb Cs Density (gcm-3) 0.53 0.97 0.86 1.53 1.87 Melting point (oC) 180 98 64 39 29 ∆Hatm (kJmol-1) 162 108 90 82 78 1 Reactivity

within the same ligand and a single central atom” (chemicool). Chelation therapy is a process in which reduction of toxic effects of metals within the human body take place. The agents often bind to the toxic ions and form structures that are then easily excreted. Most agents are made up of atoms like Sulphur, Nitrogen and Oxygen functioning as ligand atoms. As metals release toxic substances into the human body the need for an agent to try and reduce the toxicity for our well being is necessary. Most

Calcium is silvery-white in colour and is solid at room temperature. It melts at 842 degrees Celsius (1115 K) and boils at 1484 degrees Celsius (1771 K). Calcium is quite soft for a metal. Calcium reacts easily and quite violently with water and other acids. This is due to the fact that calcium is an alkali earth metal. The flame test for calcium results in a brick red flame. Calcium was first used (unknowingly) many, many years ago by the romans who used limestone (crystalline calcium carbonate)

The use of art as a tool for those in power, started in different times, in different cultures. Stone Hedge had gold hair tresses, which are the oldest dated cast gold in Britain, in his grave when found. The treasures in his grave show a man of status. Art for personal adornment, like the hair clasps, elevated him above his peers. Darius the Great ruled over 20 nations in his empire. A few people could read so Darius had stone reliefs created that combined styles from all over the empire, the
