1. USES OF METALS

2. eg have high melting points
Metals all have
similar properties
eg have high melting points
They are all solid at
room temperature
except for mercury!

3. Most metals are dull on the surface, but shiny when cut or polished.
The metal surface reacts with oxygen
to make a dull coat.

4. Both heat and electricity flow easily through metals

5. Steel is a very strong metal.
It is made when iron is mixed with carbon.

6. malleable (change shape easily)
