  1. 1. A property of metals is that they are:
    • (a) dull
    • (b) brittle
    • (c) lustrous
    • (d) poor conductors
  2. 2. Being drawn into wires is called:
    • (a) malleable
    • (b) sonorous
    • (c) brittle
    • (d) ductile
  3. 3. Metals react with oxygen to form:
    • (a) metal oxides
    • (b) acids
    • (c) hydrogen
    • (d) salts only
  4. 4. A reactive metal with an acid releases:
    • (a) oxygen
    • (b) hydrogen
    • (c) carbon dioxide
    • (d) nitrogen
  5. 5. Name two physical properties of metals.
  6. 6. What forms when a metal reacts with oxygen?
  7. 7. Compare the physical properties of metals and non-metals, noting exceptions.

  1. 1. (c) lustrous — Metals are usually shiny (lustrous).
  2. 2. (d) ductile — Drawing into wires is ductility.
  3. 3. (a) metal oxides — They form metal oxides.
  4. 4. (b) hydrogen — Hydrogen gas is released.
  5. 5. Lustre and malleability (also ductility, conductivity, sonorousness).
  6. 6. A metal oxide, usually basic.
  7. 7. Metals and non-metals differ in many physical properties. Metals are usually lustrous (shiny), hard, malleable (can be hammered into sheets), ductile (can be drawn into wires), good conductors of heat and electricity, and sonorous (ring when struck). Non-metals are generally dull, brittle, poor conductors, and neither malleable nor ductile. However, there are notable exceptions that show these are general trends rather than strict rules: mercury is a metal but is liquid at room temperature, and graphite is a non-metal yet conducts electricity well. These exceptions are why we look at several properties together before classifying a substance.
