Properties of Metals
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Metals are shiny. Metals are ductile (can be
stretched into thin wires). Metals are malleable (can
be pounded into thin sheets).
A chemical property of metal is its reaction with water which results in corrosion.

Alloys Alloys are formed when different metals are melted down and mixed together and then allowed to cool. The alloys produced may have different properties to the metals that they are composed of. Some common alloys are bronze, stainless steel, and solder.

What does it mean to be reactive? Elements that are reactive bond easily with
other elements to make compounds. Some elements are only found in nature
bonded with other elements. What makes an element reactive?
An incomplete valence electron shell. All atoms (except hydrogen) want to have 8
electrons in their very outermost energy level (This is called the rule of octet.)
Atoms bond until this level is complete. Atoms with few valence electrons lose them during bonding. Atoms with 6, 7, or 8 valence electrons gain electrons during bonding.
