  • Metals have a shining surface. This property is called metallic lustre.
  • Metals can be beaten into thin sheets. This property is called malleability.
  • The ability of metals to be drawn into thin wires is called ductility.
  • Gold is the most ductile metal.
  • The best conductors of heat are silver and copper.
  • The metals that produce a sound on striking a hard surface are said to be sonorous.
  • All metals except mercury exist as solids at room temperature.
  • Almost all metals combine with oxygen to form metal oxides.
  • Metals such as potassium and sodium react so vigorously that they catch fire if kept in the open.
  • Metals react with water and produce a metal oxide and hydrogen gas.
  • Metals react with acids to give a salt and hydrogen gas.
  • Sodium and chloride ions, being oppositely charged, attract each other and are held by strong electrostatic forces of attraction to exist as sodium chloride (NaCl).
  • Ores mined from the earth are usually contaminated with large amounts of impurities such as soil, sand, etc., called gangue.
  • Metals low in the activity series are very unreactive.
  • The metals in the middle of the activity series such as iron, zinc, lead, copper, etc., are moderately reactive.
  • The sulphide ores are converted into oxides by heating strongly in the presence of excess air. This process is known as roasting.
  • The carbonate ores are changed into oxides by heating strongly in limited air. This process is known as calcination.
  • Galvanisation is a method of protecting steel and iron from rusting by coating them with a thin layer of zinc.
  • An alloy is a homogeneous mixture of two or more metals, or a metal and a non-metal.
