Chapter 16: Summary and reflection

Summary:

Keane talks about how pure tin tools or coins get cold and a whitish hue of rust starts to cover them like frost on a window. The rust would later corrode away/ When the tin atoms shift from their strong "beta" to the powdery "alpha" form it is known as a convenient chemical  scapegoat.

 Scientist tend to struggle when making a compound out of argon, since argon collapses after the compound begins to warm. It is considered one of the hardest elements that humans have forced  into a compound. a durable crystal can be formed from argon at -445 degrees F axs argon fluorohydride.

Reflection:
 I found this chapter interesting because I learned how elements are put into very extreme temperatures. If the author would've explained it a bit more clearly I would've written more.
