Physical Properties of Metals
Metals are lustrous, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity. Other properties include: State: Metals are solids at room temperature with the exception of mercury, which is liquid at room temperature (Gallium is liquid on hot days).
Answer:
They are good conductors of sound. They are sonorous.
Metals are ductile which means that they can be used to make thin wires.
They are malleable which means that they can be pounded into thin sheets.
Metals are usually solid at room temperature. However, there is an exception i.e. Mercury which is usually in liquid form.
There are a few metals that have low density, soft, and have low melting and boiling points. These metals are alkali and alkaline earth metals, they are also highly reactive, and are rarely encountered in their elemental, metallic form.
Some metals like sodium are so soft that they can be cut with a knife.
Three magnetic metals are iron, nickel and cobalt. Steel is also magnetic but it is an alloy which contains iron.
