Write about 2 physical properties of metals.
Answers
Explanation:
metal are strong reducing agent.
they are chemically reactive because of low E.N
Here's your answer!
Physical properties of metals :-
1. Metals are malleable, i.e. they can be drawn into thin sheets, for example, aluminium.
2. Metals are ductile, i.e. they can be drawn into thin wires, for example, gold.
3. Metal has a shiny surface, i.e. lustrous.
4. Metals are good conductors of electricity.
5. Metals are good conductors of heat.
Chemical Properties of Metals :-
6. Metals form basic oxides, Na2O, MgO, etc.
7. Metals are reducing agents because they are capable of losing electrons in order to gain stability.
8. Electronegativity is low in order increase their stability by losing electrons to become cations.
9. Electron affinity is low.
Hope it helps!
