PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF METALS
Some physical properties of metals are as follows:
Conductivity: Metals are rood conductors of rey This property
metals make them suitable to be used in cooking utensils, heutin
elements, etc Metals are also good conductors of electricity. It is
due to this property of metals thuar electric wires are made up of
metals like copper. Somne mesls allow electricity 10 pues through
