Properties of Metals

Metals

•Located to the left and below the diagonal line in the periodic table.

Properties of Metals• Metals are usually solids at room

temperature• Good conductors of heat and

electricity• High melting points and boiling

points (except Hg)• High densities (except some group

1 metals)• Metals are shiny and reflect light

Properties of Metals• Metallic Bonds

•Metal atoms are surrounded by a sea of electrons because they are not held tightly

Metals


Ductilemetals can be drawn into wire.

Ductilemetals can be drawn into wire.


Metals have

luster. This means they are

shiny


Malleablemetals can be hammered into sheets


Metals have a high melting point.

They are also very dense.


Conductors Metals are

good conductors of electricity and heat


A chemical property of metal is its reaction with water and oxygen. This results in corrosion and rust.


Most metals have 3 or less valence electrons and therefore are likely to lose these electrons in chemical bonds.
