Metals are shiny elements that have various amounts of valence electrons. They are characterized by malleability, softness, reactivity with acids and their conjugate bases, (for example (x)HCl + (y)Fe (x)H+ + FexCly )
Valence electrons in a metallic bond are delocalized and can move freely within the metal atoms. This gives metals their malleability and luster.
An object which is made up of metal are known as a lustrous objects metal is always lustrous.Example- gold bangles,copper wires,aluminium kettle, iron nails etc.
Something that is malleable can be hammered or rolled (deformed) into very thing sheets without tearing or breaking apart. We find that gold is wonderfully malleable, and this metal can be hammered into sheets thinner than a human hair.
Uranium is a malleable metal
Elements with luster would be classified as metals. Metals will also have the properties of malleability and ductility. Luster: the shine of a metal object Malleability: the flexibility of a metal Ductility: the ability of a metal to be pulled into thin wires
Malleability is how malleable an object is, for example a metal is malleable as it can be hammered or bent into different shapes without breaking. Ductility is how ductile an object is, again many metals are ductile as they can be drawn or pulled into a long strand of wire without breaking.
Malleability is not a type of metal. It is a property of metals.
Malleability. Hammer an object to thin sheets. Aluminum foils as an example
The physical properties of metals are luster, malleability, ductility, conductivity of heat and electricity, and high melting and boiling points.

Luster- how light reflects of an object (usually a mineral).

Properties of metals include luster, malleability, ductility, conductivity. These properties are all a result of something called metallic bonding within the metal. It means the metal's electrons are actually interchangable between atoms, facilitating the flow of heat through the metal, and making it less prone to cleaving or shattering like non-metal solids.
Malleability (malleable)malleability
It means the ability for a metal to bend without breaking. An example is when a smith makes a sword. The smith hammers the sword to bend the metal into place.
