Metals have many important uses in daily life and different properties. Iron is used for machines, vehicles, and nails. Gold is used for ornaments and plating due to its value. Zinc is used in dry cells and galvanizing iron. Metals have properties like metallic luster from their shiny surfaces, malleability to be hammered into sheets, ductility to be drawn into wires, and sonority to produce sound when tapped.

5. The freshly cut surface of metals have a shining
appearance.This property of metal is metallic lustre.

6. Metals can very well be beaten into thin sheets.This
propery of metals is called malleability.

7. Metals can be drawn to make fine wires. This
