It is not clear what you mean by poor metals. Metals can be cheap, but they cannot be poor. All metals, whether cheap or expensive, share certain basic characteristics. They all have between 1 and 3 valance electrons, and they all tend to undergo chemical reactions in which they lose electrons, or in the case of a metallic bond, share electrons in the form of a cloud. They are all good electrical conductors.

∙ 15y agoA poor metal is a metal means that these metals are softer, weaker, and a lower boiling poin than other metals. * aluminum * gallium * indium * thallium * tin * lead * bismuth * polonium

That's why they're called poor.
Now the middle class metals - they generally have loads of property. And as for the upper class metals - don't start me off!

What properties identify nonmetals?
AcidicThe properties that identify the non metals are poor conductors, low densities and high ionization energies.
What is a blend of metals that has properties different from the pure metals?
That is called an alloy.
Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity are?
All Non-Metals are poor conductor of electricity.
What are properties of metaloids?
As their name suggests, metalloids possess characteristics of metals and nonmetals. Typical characteristics of metals include a shiny luster, some degree of malleability and an ability to conduct electricity or heat. Nonmetals are typically nonlustrous, brittle and poor conductors of electricity.
Difference between metals non metals?
There are a number of ways in which a metal can be differientiate a metal from a non-metals, these involve contrasting the properties between metals and non-metals and testing them to distinguish them from one another. Some contrasting properties between metals and non-metals: 1.) Metals conduct electricity whereas non-metals do not. 2.) Metals are shiny whereas non-metals are not. 3.) Metals are malleable whereas non-metals are brittle. 4.) Metals often have a higher boiling/melting point than non-metals. 4.) Metals are hard whereas non metals are not.
What are properties of non metal?
What are the properties of metals and non-metals? basically :Properties of Metals; *Tensıle strength , *shear strength , *compressıve strength , *ductility,*malleability, *toughness,*corrosion , *electric and thermal conductivity, *brittleness. *Luster * Conductivityand you asked non metals but you have to decide what kind of material what you asked there are 6 main kind of matter like ceramics , composites , carbons , metals&alloys , polymers...=== ===
What has properties of metals and non metals?
The metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
What is a 'poor metal'?
a black metal
What properties best describe non-metals?
low density poor conductor of electricity most form compounds
What are the properties of metal non metal and metalloids?
metals are hard,lustrous, malleable, ductile, sonorousand good conductors of heat and electricity.The materials which have this properties are called metals. Non metals are soft and dull when we take it into hand press hard they convert into powder.They are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Properties of metals include?
What are the 3 properties of metals?
Do metals have properties of metallic and non metallic?
No, metalloids have properties of metals and nonmetals.
Does carbon have properties of metal and nonmetals?
No, carbon does not have properties of both metals and nonmetals. It is a nonmetal and has properties such as being a poor conductor of electricity and having a low melting and boiling point. Carbon does not exhibit metallic properties like luster, malleability, and the ability to conduct electricity like metals do.
What properties identify nonmetals?
AcidicThe properties that identify the non metals are poor conductors, low densities and high ionization energies.
What is classification for the elements that have properties of both metals and non metals?
Metalloids Metalloids have properties of both metals and non-metals.
Do elements that have some properties of metals and some properties of non metals are called halogens?
No, they are not.
Is malleable properties of both metals and non metals?
metals
