(b) State any five physical properties of a metal

Five physical properties of metals are given as follows:

• Solid -Metals are generally solid at room temperature. They change to vapor at very high temperature
• Lustrous - Metals are lustrous as when they are cut, the cut surface has a shine.
• Density - Metals generally have high density. Except - sodium and potassium (density is less than water)
• Malleability - The property of metals where metals can be drawn into thin sheets. Metals are highly malleable
• Ductility - Property of metals where metals can be drawn into thin wires. Metals are highly ductile.
