Metals generally: conduct electricity well, conduct heat well, Have a shiny surface when freshly cut, form positive ions. Many are hard to the touch but some are soft and can be cut with a knife (Sodium and Lead for example) all are solids at room temperature except Mercury

∙ 11y agothe most basic ones are:
luster
conducts electricity
malleable
have 1-3 valence electrons generally
forms basic oxidizers
ductile
when in a sheet they are opaque
all are solids at room temperature except Hg

∙ 11y agoThere are more than 80 metals recognized and placed in the Periodic Table. They have an immense diversity of their chemical and physical properties.
Two of the qualities that all metals have are, conductivity of electricity and heat. These behaviour can be understood by their metallic bonding structure which contain 'free electrons'.
If we discuss about the metals a little further, almost all of the metals are solids at room temperature. The only exception to this statement is mercury.
Metals are usually can be bent and can be extracted into sheets or wires. And metals give a sonorous sound when it is collided. The exceptions for these statements are the alkali metals and mercury which is normally found as a liquid.
Generally it is said that metals show basic characteristics as they do react with acids to liberate hydrogen gas. But some metals including aluminium, zinc, tin and lead react with alkali too, and it violates the statement if it is mentioned for ALL metals.

∙ 11y agoMost metals have something in common. For instance, almost all metals luster, which means to shine or glow. Another is most metals are hard and very difficult to cut through. If you want to know more, go to the related link.

The elements that lack most of the properties of metals are called?
Nonmetals lack most of the properties of a metal.
What are the properties of Semi-metals or Metalloids?
Their properties are similar with non-metals and metals. That's why they're called semi-metals. They are reactive depending on the element they are reacting with, and they are semi-conductors.
Are metals most known elements?
yes metals are more common than non-metals
What are the elements that lacks most of the properties of metals called?
it's called a non metal
What chemical properties are shared by most metals?
Metals conduct electricity. Metals ionise [lose one or more electrons] to form positively charged ions - cations.
List four properties of most metals?
hardness,shininess, malleability, and ductility
Which properties are most common in metals?
solidvery high melting pointnot soluble in waterelectrically conductivemalleableductilelustrous
What can you do to reduce demand for dwindling metals?
The most common way is to find an alternative material with similar properties.
What are the properties of most metals?
Density
The elements that lack most of the properties of metals are called?
Nonmetals lack most of the properties of a metal.
What are common physical properties of most metals?
they conduct electricity as they have free electrons.
What are good conductor of heat and electricity?
Most metals. Non-metals usually do NOT have both these properties.
What are the properties of Semi-metals or Metalloids?
Their properties are similar with non-metals and metals. That's why they're called semi-metals. They are reactive depending on the element they are reacting with, and they are semi-conductors.
Which element lacks most of the properties of metals?
That would be the noble gases
What is the most common semi metal?
Semi-metals or metalloids. The elements boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, and astatine have properties similar to both metals and non-metals. These elements are located along the semi-metal line of the periodic table.
What is the properties of transition?
They have to properties of metals. Most have high melting and boiling points. They're excellent conductors of electricity.
What is a metallloid?
A metalloid are the elements located on the "staircase" of the periodic table. They have properties of metals and nonmetals. They make for good semi-conductors. The most common is silicon, which is used in computers.
