: [[Metal]]s make good [[Electrical Conductor|electrical]] and [[Thermal Conductor|thermal]] [[conductor]]s because the [[Delocalised Electron|delocalised electrons]] are free to move around the [[material]].
: [[Metal]]s usually have high [[Melting Point|melting]] and [[Boiling Point|boiling]] points making them [[solid]] at [[Room Temperature|room temperature]] except for [[Mercury (Element)|mercury]] which is a [[liquid]] at [[Room Temperature|room temperature]].
