1(d) (i) The size / diameter of dents on bronze block are smaller than
the size / diameter of dents on copper block // The size /
diameter of dents on copper block are bigger than the size /
diameter of dents on bronze block.
(ii) Bronze is harder than copper // Copper is less harder than
Bronze
(iii) The orderly arrangement of atoms in copper enables the
layers of atoms to slide on one another when force is
applied. //
In bronze, the presence of atoms of other metals that are of
different sizes disturb the orderly arrangement of atoms in
the metal and its reduce the layer of atoms from sliding.

into a basin of water. The burette is clamped onto a retort
stand.
2. The meniscus of the water in the burette is adjusted to
a reading of 50cm
