Study Notes

Properties of Metals

  • Metals possess a shiny appearance due to their high reflectivity, which is a result of their ability to reflect light effectively.
  • High electrical conductivity allows metals to be utilized as electric wires; this property is linked to the presence of free-moving electrons.
  • The ability of metals to produce a ringing sound when struck, known as sonority, is due to their ability to vibrate and transmit sound waves efficiently.
  • Metals can be distinguished from non-metals based on their general physical properties such as luster, malleability, and ductility.
  • Metals typically form basic oxides when they react with oxygen, demonstrating their tendency to combine with oxygen in reactions that yield basic compounds.
  • When metals react with acids, hydrogen gas is produced as a result of the displacement reaction during the acid-metal interaction.
  • Iodine is a non-metal used to create tincture iodine, which acts as a disinfectant.
  • Malleability is a property of metals that allows them to be hammered or pressed into thin sheets without breaking.
  • Ductility is another characteristic of metals that enables them to be drawn into thin wires, critical for many industrial applications.
  • Metals exhibit sonority, which is the property that allows them to produce a ringing sound when struck, contributing to their use in various instruments.
