Additional Information :

Physical properties of metals:-

• Most metals are lustrous (have a shining surface).
• Metals are generally hard.
• Metals are malleable (can be beaten into thin sheets).
• Metals are ductile (they can be drawn into thin wires).
• Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
• Metals are sonorous (they produce a clinging sound when they strike a hard surface).

Ductility:

• Ductility is defined as the measure of a metal's ability by which it can be drawn into thin wires without breaking or deforming.
• Gold and platinum are the highest ductile metals. They can be drawn into thin wires of great length easily. For example, a wire of about 2 km length can be drawn from one gram of gold.
