5ExerciseStrength is the main property that steel offers.The process which/that is known as polymerization consists of joining different polymers of/from which plastics are made.Electrons, the electrical charge of which is negative, are the responsible particles for the production of electricity.The high speeds at which the rotor in a generator turns produce large amounts of electricity.An electrolytic cell is the place where/in which the electrolytic process takes place.The discovery of semiconductors allowed the mass production of chips, which reduced the cost of computers significantly.Lead whose symbol is Pb, is the heaviest metal.There are many different ways in which we may change the properties of materials.

6Exercise (shortened R.C.)Alloys are materials CONTAINING (that contain) at least one metal The cables SUPPLYING (that supplied) the electricity were damaged in the stormThis report contains the results OBTAINED (that were obtained) from the test.The temperatures SHOWN (that are shown) in the graph are given in degrees centigrade.The coolant NOT FLOWING (that does not flow) through the radiator may cause overheating.The mixture FED (that is fed) to the machine is then processed.We analyzed the samples TAKEN (that were taken) from polluted water.A new synthetic material DEVELOPED (that was developed) last year is already .The metal SURROUNDING (that surrounds) the engine must resist high temperaturesThe metals KNOWN (that are known) as ferrous metals contain iron

WHAT vs WHICHThe mixture of copper and tin is WHAT is known as bronze, WHICH was probably the first alloy used by man.We need to benefit from solar energy, WHICH is difficult in some countries.They were not surprised at WHAT this device can detect, because they knew WHAT to expect.The maintenance engineers did WHAT they could, WHICH wasn't much.Many companies dont know WHAT to do with their waste, WHICH makes for serious environmental problems.He is familiar with several programming languages, WHICH makes him suitable for the job.We dont know WHAT caused the accident in the power plant.WHAT goes up must come down.It doesnt matter WHAT you do, the system wont work properly anyway.I am sure that WHAT the technicians say is correct, but we should look for better alternatives to provide clean energy.LISTENING: AlloysCOMBINATION OF METALS CARBON BY MIXING THE PROPERTIES OF AN ALLOYIN A PURE STATESTEELOF WHICH IRON SMALL AMOUNTS OF CARBON CARBON STEEL to which CHROMIUM, COPPER NICKELTO OBTAIN THE DESIRABLE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL BRASS AND BRONZECOPPER9LISTENING: Alloys (p 52) (00:55)The properties of an alloy DEPEND ON THE PROPERTIES OF THE ELEMENTS THAT IT CONTAINS although the alloy behaves IN A DIFFERENT WAYFor example, there is an alloy of IRON THAT IS EVEN MORE MAGNETIC THAN PURE IRONThe usual method OF MAKING AN ALLOY is to heat the different elements UNTIL THEY MELT then to mix them Thus, an alloy is a solution RATHER THAN A SIMPLE MIXTUREAs you know, the properties of a solution are not simply A MIXTURE OF THE PROPERTIES OF ITS COMPONENTSWater for example FREEZES AT 0C and sodium chloride MELTS AT 801C, but if sodium chloride is dissolved in water to form a strong solution of saltTHIS SOLUTION FREEZES AT 23C.In fact, as a general rule, A SOLUTION FREEZES AT A LOWER TEMPERATURE THAN ITS COMPONENTS DOAnd since alloys are SOLID SOLUTIONSit should not surprise you to learn thatTHEY BEHAVE IN A SIMILAR WAYan alloy usually has A LOWER MELTING POINT than the substances OF WHICH IT IS COMPOSED. For example, PURE IRON MELTS AT 1,500C and carbon at 3,350C, but cast iron, AN ALLOY OF IRON & CARBON, melts at 1,150C.

10CORRECT MISTAKESThe properties of an alloy depend on the materials that IT contains.Electrons orbiting farther from the nucleus are easily drawn away.An electrolytic cell is the place in which ELECTROLYSIS takes place.Steel is an alloy WHOSE composition consists of carbon and iron.Go on with what you were doing.An alloy is the name GIVEN to the material that (0) is formed by a metal and another element.Conductors are materials THROUGH WHICH electricity can flowThe mixture of copper and zinc is called brass, WHICH (0) is the most common non-ferrous alloy.The properties of alloys are better than THOSE observed in pure metalsMetals can be heated to a certain temperature above (0) which their properties change.The temperature AT WHICH iron melts is 1,550C.11USES of THATRelative pronoun (THAT or WHICH) : e.g. The materials THAT /WHICH are used in structures must be very strong

Conjunction: THAT (after vbs such as TO SAY, TO STATE, TO KNOW THAT). E.g. She said THAT it was raining

Adj + N /Pronoun: THIS/THESE (+ N) THAT / THOSE (+ N)e.g. Iron is commonly used in engineering. This/That (material) is alloyed with other metalse.g. Zinc and nickel are very strong. These/Those (materials) are commonly used in alloys

USES of THATPronoun: - El/Los (pronoun) + ADJECTIVE =the one / the ones. E.g.I like the blue bag but not THE RED ONEEl/Los (pronoun) + OF/ Short Rel Clause (typically used with comparison) (el que/el de)= THAT/THOSE OF/short REL CLThe density of iron is higher than THAT OF zinc: la densidad del hierro es mayor que la (densidad) del cincThe results are better than THOSE presented last year: los resultados son mejores los (resultados) que presentamos el ao pasado

EXERCISE: Uses of THATThe microscope showed that (Conj) the membrane of TiNi was thicker than that of (Pron) stainless steelThe result is a plethora of choices that (Relat) enable todays engineers to fine-tune the selection process Natural materials such as obsidian and tektites have compositions and properties similar to those (Pron) of synthetic glass.Plastics have a lower melting point than that (Pron) of metalsThe results obtained in the experiment are compared to those (Pron) given in the specifications The toughness and hardness of a steel that (Relat) is not heat treated depend on the amount of carbon that (Relat) is added to the mixtureThe results that (Relat) were obtained during the experiment show clearly that (Conj) the elasticity of steel is higher than that (Pron) found in pure iron.This alloy has a high tensile strength, comparable to that (Pron) of the duplex stainless steels Engineers must choose the materials that (Relat) they consider best suited for a particular purposeWilm discovered that (Conj) the alloy increased in hardness when left to age at room temperaturePolymers can never have a degree of order equivalent to that (Pron) of low molecular materials like ice or common salt
