Example metals include gold, sodium, copper, iron, and many other elements. Metals are usually malleable, ductile, and shiny. - Boundless

Metals have these typical physical properties:
  • Lustrous (shiny)
  • Hard
  • High density (are heavy for their size)
  • High tensile strength (resist being stretched)
  • High melting and boiling points
  • Good conductors of heat and electricity

For example, aluminium conducts heat, which makes it a useful material for making saucepans and gold is shiny, which makes it an attractive material for jewellery.

Metal particles are held together by strong metallic bonds, which is why they have high melting and boiling points. The loose electrons in metals can all move together through the metal – creating an electric current. - BBC bitesize
