Physical properties of a metal :
1. State: Metals are generally solid at room temperature. Mercury and gallium are liquid metals.
2. Hardness: Metals are generally hard.
3. Conductivity: Metals, in general, are good conductors of heat and electricity. Bismuth and tungsten are exceptions.
4. Malleability: The property by which metals can be beaten into sheets is called malleability. Metals are generally malleable.
5. Ductility : Metals are generally ductile i.e., can be drawn into wires.
