    true
  19. which alloys do not require any gold but contain at LEAST 25% noble metals by weight?
    noble alloys
  20. which alloys do not require gold and require LESS than 25% of noble metal weight?
    base-metal alloys
  21. what is the most corrosion resistant of the noble metals that has been used in dentistry for centuries?
    GOLD!
  22. Au = _______
    GOLD!
  23. Pt = _______
    Platinum

    Palladium
  25. what are the three noble metals in RED?
    • gold
    • platinum
    • palladium
  26. t/f silver is a noble metal and a precious metal
    FALSE! only a precious metal!
  27. why is silver not a noble metal?
    because of high tarnish and corrosion
  28. which is the most corrosive resistant noble metal?
    gold
  29. pure gold = ___ carat which is ____% or _____ fine

  32. which noble metal in RED is not used much in dentistry?
    platinum (expensive, high melting point, and difficulty mixing with gold)
  33. which dental alloy has GOOD corrosive resistance INCREASES hardness of alloy and is LESS expensive than gold?
    Palladium
  34. the more ductile the alloy, the ____ the margins can be burnished
    more
