Card 6General properties

What are the general properties of metals?

Answer

Metals are usually lustrous, hard, dense, sonorous, malleable, ductile, and good conductors of heat and electricity. They generally have high melting and boiling points and high tensile strength.

Card 7General properties

What are the general properties of non-metals?

Answer

Non-metals are usually dull, brittle, low in density, poor conductors of heat and electricity, and not malleable or ductile. They generally have low melting and boiling points.

Card 8Physical properties

What is ductility? Give one example.
