When two or more things, especially organizations, amalgamate or are amalgamated, they become one large thing. The firm has amalgamated with an American company The chemical companies had amalgamated into a vast conglomerate The Visitors' Centre amalgamates the traditions of the Old World with the technology of the New. = merge + amalgamation amalgamations amal·gama·tion Athletics South Africa was formed by an amalgamation of two organisations. = merger
To coalesce, as a result of growth; to combine into a uniform whole; to blend; as, two organs or parts amalgamate
To compound or mix, as quicksilver, with another metal; to unite, combine, or alloy with mercury
The state of having been combined from two or more entities into one specific entity whilst retaining the defining characteristics of the original source entities
Typical silver colored filling made of mix of silver, tin, mercury, and some other trace elements like copper Advantages- placement easier than other materials, cost Disadvantages-color, breaks down in mouth releasing mercury and other trace metals Stains teeth over time
Typical silver coloured filling made of mix of silver, tin, mercury, and some other trace elements like copper Advantages- placement easier than other materials, cost Disadvantage- colour, breaks down 10-20 years
a mixture of silver and mercury that has been used for fillings since the mid 1800s Expands and contracts over time eventually damaging or fracturing the tooth Definitely not part of 21st century dentistry
A silver colored dental filling made of mix of silver, tin, mercury, and some other trace elements like copper Advantages- placement easier than other materials, cost Disadvantage- color, breaks down 10-20 years
the most common material used for fillings, also called silver fillings; a mixture of mercury (app 50%), silver, tin, copper and zinc used for fillings
The dissolving or blending of a metal (commonly gold and silver) in mercury to separate it from its parent material As related to fish, externally visible skin or subcutaneous disorders, including deformities, eroded fins, lesions, and tumors
A process using mercury to collect fine particles of gold or silver from pulverized ore Both precious metals dissolve in the silvery liquid, while rock does not; they can later be released by applying heat or pressure to the mercury
Combination, mix, or blend of components or characteristics consolidated into unit Angle (plane angle) The spatial relationship between two straight lines which meet; the point of meeting is the vertex of the angle Angles are measured in degrees or, alternatively, in radians A complete revolution is 360 degrees (360°) If two lines are parallel, the angle between them is zero A straight line forms an angle of 180° and a right angle is 90°
Amalgamation of titles occurs when the titles of two or more blocks of land are cancelled and a single title is issued for the whole of the area The blocks of land are no longer separate (Refer to section 307 of the Act )
It is blending of two or more companies The shareholders of each company would become the shareholders of the company which is undertaking the activity It is similar to a merger
a combination or blend of diverse things; "his theory is an amalgam of earlier ideas" an alloy of mercury with another metal (usually silver) used by dentists to fill cavities in teeth; except for iron and platinum all metals dissolve in mercury and chemists refer to the resulting mercury mixtures as amalgams
an alloy of mercury with another metal (usually silver) used by dentists to fill cavities in teeth; except for iron and platinum all metals dissolve in mercury and chemists refer to the resulting mercury mixtures as amalgams
Something that is an amalgam of two or more things is a mixture of them. = mixture. a mixture of different things amalgam of. Alloy of mercury and one or more other metals. Those of silver, gold, and palladium occur naturally. Those with a very high mercury content are liquid; others are crystalline. Amalgams of silver and tin, with minor amounts of copper and zinc, are used in dentistry to fill teeth. Sodium amalgam is used in manufacturing chlorine and sodium hydroxide by electrolysis of brine. Amalgams are used to recover silver and gold from their ores: The ore is shaken with mercury, the amalgam is separated and heated until the mercury distills off (see distillation), and the precious metal is the residue. Amalgams are also used to silver mirrors and apply other metal coatings
The act or operation of compounding mercury with another metal; applied particularly to the process of separating gold and silver from their ores by mixing them with mercury
Specifically: A machine for separating precious metals from earthy particles by bringing them in contact with a body of mercury with which they form an amalgam
