shines when polished and not rusted, major response to oxidzation[rusts], a distinct smell[almost kind of sour], solid, conductive[although not all metals are conductive], a disticnt taste[just like the smell], and it usually makes a "Chink" sound when struck.

What is A class of elements characterized by physical properties that include shininess malleability and conductivity?

The class of elements characterized by these physical properties is metals. Metals have a shiny appearance, can be shaped easily (malleability), and are good conductors of electricity and heat.


What is a property of metals?

Physical properties of metals include: luster, malleability, and ductility. Chemical properties include: forming cations, and reacting with nonmetals to form ionic compounds.


What is physical metallurgy?

Physical metallurgy is the branch of materials science that focuses on the relationship between the structure and properties of metals and alloys. It involves studying the physical and mechanical properties of metallic materials, as well as the processes involved in their production, processing, and applications. Physical metallurgists work to understand how the microstructure of a material affects its properties and performance in various environments.


What are the common properties of halogen?

What are common physical properties of most metals?

Common physical properties of most metals include high thermal and electrical conductivity, malleability (ability to be shaped without breaking), ductility (ability to be stretched into wires), shiny luster, and high density. Metals are also typically good conductors of heat and have high melting and boiling points.


Metals that share both physical and chemical properties are called?

These metals are called alloys. Alloys are created by combining two or more metallic elements to enhance specific properties or create new ones that differ from the individual metals. The resulting alloy typically exhibits a mixture of physical and chemical properties from the constituent metals.
