Metals are the good conductors of heat and electricity Hence, it can be used as electronic apparatus. 3. Metals have a high melting point. eg Aluminium(Al), copper, steel for cooking as vessels. 4. Metals have high density (heavy for their size) means more molecules are compactly packed in any metal element. 5. Metal is malleable (can be hammered) and drawn into a sheet.
