Question

Which of the following is not a property that is typical of metals?

a. low heat conductivity b. lustre c. ductility d. malleability​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) low heat conductivity

Answer 2

Answer:

low heat conductivity

as metals have high heat conductivity

Explanation:

Metals are shiny solids are room temperature (except mercury, which is a shiny liquid element), with characteristic high melting points and densities. Many of the properties of metals, including large atomic radius, low ionization energy, and low electronegativity, are due to the fact that the electrons in the valence shell of a metal atoms can be removed easily. One characteristic of metals is their ability to be deformed without breaking. Malleability is the ability of a metal to be hammered into shapes. Ductility is the ability of a metal to be drawn into wire. Because the valence electrons can move freely, metals are good heat conductors and electrical conductors.
