3. Properties of Metals
Metals
• Located to
the left and
below the
diagonal line
in the
periodic
table.

4. 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

5. Properties of Metals
• Metallic Bonds
•Metal atoms
are
surrounded by
a sea of
electrons
because they
are not held
tightly

7. Properties of Metals
Ductile
metals can be
drawn into wire.
Ductile
metals can be
drawn into wire.

8. Properties of Metals
Metals have
luster. This
means they are
shiny

9. Properties of Metals
Malleable
metals can
be hammered
into sheets

10. Properties of Metals
Metals have a high melting point. They
are also very dense.

11. Properties of Metals
Conductors
Metals are
good
conductors of
electricity and
heat

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

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