physical properties of metals

Let us learn about physical properties of metals
  • Metals are ductile, they can be drawn into wires & metals are malleable they can be pounded into thin sheets
  • Metals have comparatively high melting points & remain in the liquid state over a wide temperature range.
  • The conversion metals have higher melting points than main group metals those in Group IA and IIA
  • Metals have unreliable degrees of hardness.
  • Metals conduct electricity and heat.
  • Metals are usually shiny. They have luster.

Those properties explained in physics exclusive of those described as mechanical properties, the best example, electrical conductivity, density, coefficient of thermal expansion. The term physical properties are often used incorrectly to describe mechanical properties.


In our next blog we shall learn about equilibrium constant expression I hope the above explanation was useful.Keep reading and leave your comments.
