what are some physical properties of metals
Metals have the following general properties: 1. They are generally hard, strong solids, for example, aluminium, iron, zinc, tin and copper. They are strong enough to bear heavy loads, i.e., they have a high tensile strength.
Metals are good conductors of heat, i.e., they allow heat to pass through them easily. Due to this property, we use metal utensils in kitchens. Heat supplied at one place of the utensil is conducted all over it. You cannot use a frying pan made of, say, cardboard because it is a bad conductor of heat.
