Properties of metals
Properties of metals
Metals usually have shiny surfaces, exist mostly as solids (except mercury), and have high melting and boiling points. They conduct heat and electricity well. They can be stretched into wires (ductile) and hammered into different shapes (malleable), making a ringing sound when struck (sonorous).
Metal ductility
Metal ductility
The ability of a metal to be drawn into thin wires.
Metal malleability
Metal malleability
The ability of a metal to be hammered or rolled into different shapes without breaking.

Study Notes
Properties of Metals
- Metals are typically solid substances (except mercury, which is liquid at room temperature).
- Metals possess a distinctive shiny, or lustrous, appearance.
- Metals generally have high melting and boiling points.
- Metals are ductile, meaning they can be drawn into wires.
- Metals are malleable, meaning they can be hammered or pressed into different shapes without breaking.
- Metals produce a ringing sound when struck, exhibiting sonorous properties.
- Metals are excellent conductors of both electricity and heat.
