Malleable
Can be hammered into shapes
Ductile
Can be stretched out into the in wires
Very dense
Sink in water
Alloy metals
Is a mixture of metals
Properties of metals
Shiny Ductile Have high melting points Good conductors of heat Malleable Very dense
Alloys
Are mixtures of metals (bronze copper + tin)
Corrosion of metals
Is the reaction when a metal reacts with oxygen in the air to form and oxide (rusting is iron corrosion)
Preventing corrosion
Painting
Galvanising (coating with a layer of zinc)
