What generalisations can be made about metals according to the text?
What generalisations can be made about metals according to the text?
- Metals are transparent, brittle, have high electrical resistance, and are dull in appearance.
- Metals are malleable, ductile, dense, and can conduct electricity well. (correct)
- Metals are gaseous, opaque, have high heat resistance, and feel warm to the touch.
- Metals are mostly liquid, disorganized, weak, and light.
Why do most metals feel instantly cold to the touch?
Why do most metals feel instantly cold to the touch?
- Because they do not conduct electricity well.
- Because they have high heat resistance.
- Because they conduct heat well, carrying heat energy quickly away from the body. (correct)
- Because they reflect all light wavelengths equally.
