Properties of Metals
There are several key properties of metals you should know. Metals are:
- Bad conductors of electricity
- Bad conductors of thermal energy
- Dull - They have reflective surfaces when polished.
- Brittle - They can be hammered into shape.
- Stiff - They can be stretched into wires.
- Not sonorous - They make a ringing sound when they are hit.
