The chemical and physical properties are very different; for example: color, density, melting point, boiling point, chemical reactivity, hardness, mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, etc.

Will metal get affected in sugar water?

yes, some metals will rust in various ways and at different speeds. However only metals with iron in them will rust. Other metals will either oxidize or just remain the same. So the answer is partly yes, partly no. It depends what metal specifically.


How do liquids and gases differ?

Liquids and gases can be categorized differently through many ways, specially through their partcile composition. Liquid particles are close together and pass pass each other easily. In the other hand, gas particles are well separated and have lots of free space to move at high speeds.


How do you know if one metal is reacting faster than the other one?

There is different ways. Either you make an experiment yourself by reacting the different metals with a substance and then stopping the time it took for each reaction to stop ( quicker = more reactive) Or you can use already done experiments and look for your metal in there. Also there are columns of reactivity for metals. These tell you which metals are more reactive. The more reactive ones are the ones that are going to react faster. THis can be essential when choosing the right metal for a reaction.


How do the properties of metals differ from those of both ionic and molecular compounds?

Metals share properties such as: malleability, conductivity, strength and hardness. The reason properties of metals are different is because of metallic bonding. metals are made up of positively charged metal ions in a sea of delocalised electrons. This gives them the properties listed above. Ionic and molecular compounds are bonded in different ways. e.d ionic compounds are bonded in a rigid structure so it is brittle and non conductive


Why is hydrogen located in a group with reactive metals when it is a gas?

Hydrogen is placed in the same group as the alkali metals because like the other alkali metals, it only has one valence electron (electron in the outermost energy level of the atom). Even so, many consider Hydrogen separately because unlike the other alkali metals, it cannot lose its one and only valence electron. Mendaliv put Hydrogen there because it could not go anywhere else.
