Metals: Physical Properties

Hey there! Can you tell me what state metals are usually found in at room temperature?

• Plasma

• Liquid

• Gas

• Solid

Hey there! Can you tell me which super cool property of metals allows them to be transformed into different shapes?

• Conductivity

• Ductility

• Malleability

• Transparency

Hey there! Jackson, Benjamin, and Charlotte are on a treasure hunt to find the shiniest metal. They're curious, what kind of luster do metals typically exhibit?

• Dull or matte

• Translucent

• Shiny or metallic

• Soft or squishy

Imagine Daniel, Aria, and Isla are in a science museum, standing in front of a giant, shiny metal conductor. They're curious: Why does this metal conduct electricity so well?

• Metals have positive charges that attract electrons

• Metals have a high resistance to electricity

• Metals have free electrons that can move easily between atoms.

• Metals have no electrons

Hey there! How do metals usually react when they get a little workout from being hammered or bent?

• Metals transform into a liquid when hammered or bent.

• Metals break into pieces when hammered or bent.

• Metals release a funky smell when hammered or bent.

• Metals flex and bend without breaking thanks to the dance of dislocations within their atomic structure.

Hey there! Can you guess the temperature range at which most metals melt?

• 500°C to 1000°C

• 0°C to 500°C

• 2000°C to 3000°C

• 1000°C to 2000°C

Hey there! Can you tell me, what do we call the ability of metals to be drawn into wires?

• malleability

• brittleness

• ductility

• transparency

Hey there! Aiden, Abigail, and William are having a debate. Can you help settle it? What physical property of metals makes them great at passing on heat?

• Superb at conducting electricity

• Not so great at keeping heat in

• Light as a feather

• Excellent at spreading warmth

Hey there! What's the scoop on the density range of metals compared to non-metals?

• Metals rock a density range of 2.7 - 22.59 g/cm^3, while non-metals groove with 2.7 - 22.59 g/cm^3.

• Metals shine with a density range of 0.00009 - 5 g/cm^3, while non-metals sparkle with 0.00009 - 5 g/cm^3.

• Metals strut with a density range of 0.00009 - 5 g/cm^3, while non-metals dance with 2.7 - 22.59 g/cm^3.

• Metals pop with a density range of 2.7 - 22.59 g/cm^3, while non-metals sizzle with 0.00009 - 5 g/cm^3.

Why do metals have superpowers compared to non-metals?

• Strong metallic bonds

• Low density

• Weak metallic bonds

• Lack of luster
