What are the properties of metals
Question asked by: my02dogs
Asked on: 07 Dec 2009
Metals have lots of physical and chemical properties.
They tend to be shiny, they tend to be solid at room temperature (apart from mercury).
They will react with non-metals with ionic bonds where they donate electrons to the non-metal, and the compounds are salts such as sodium chloride which is common salt.
They tend to be malleable and also ductile. These are some of the common properties of metals.
