Click on the properties of a metal.

which one is the correct statement about transition metals?

• it reacts quickly with water

• it is harder than alkali metal

• it has less density than alkali metal

• it floats in water

Alumunium is often used instead of copper in overhead electrical cables. State which statement is NOT an important reason for choosing aluminium for this use.

• is good conductor of electricity

• good conductor of heat

• easy to recycle

• has lower density
