Physical Properties of Metals
⭐Metals are lustrous, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity. ... Hardness: All metals are hard except sodium and potassium, which are soft and can be cut with a knife. Valency: Metals typically have 1 to 3 electrons in the outermost shell of their atoms.
Answer:
Metals are solid substances which conduct heat and electricity through them, are malleable and ductile and are generally hard and shiny like iron ,gold ,silver ,mercury etc. Physical properties of metals are as follows : • Metals are solid at room temperature.Mercury is the only metal liquid at room temperature. •Metals are malleable and ductile (except zinc ,which is brittle ). •Metals are lusturous and have shiny appearance •Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity• •Metals are generally hard( except sodium and potassium, which are soft). Hope , this will be helpful to you..
