Getting StartedGetting Started

• Good conductors of electricity
• Good conductors of heat
• Shiny in appearance
• Malleable- hawed into shape
• Make a clear ringing sound when stuck (sonorous)
• Ductile- can be drawn out into wire
• High density
• High melting point
• Form positive ions

• Poor conductors of electricity
• Act as insulators
• Poor conductors of heat
• Dull in appearance
• Tend to shatter when hit and brittle
• Low density
• Low melting point
• Form negative ions
