It conducts electricity
- - - - -
But salt water also conducts electricity, and it's not a metal.
Two things make a metal a metal. First is the arrangement of their atoms. In a metal, the atoms are "tightly packed" or arranged in a nice neat little group. The other? The electrons in a metal atom's outer shell drift away from the rest of the atom and form a sort of cloud. This cloud gives metals their electrical conductivity.
What else can I help you with?
What makes sodium a non-metal?
Sodium is a metal, not a non-metal. It is classified as a metal due to its physical and chemical properties, including its shiny appearance, high electrical conductivity, and tendency to lose electrons in reactions.
What Non-metal gas is about 20 percent of normal air?
Oxygen is a non-metal gas that makes up about 20% of normal air.
How can you describe the sound of a metal when i hit it?
It makes a dull sound, while a metal makes a ringing noise like a gong!
What makes a metal less malleable?
Increasing the presence of impurities or interstitial atoms, colder temperatures, or the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds can all make a metal less malleable. These factors can disrupt the metal's crystal structure and reduce its ability to deform plastically without fracturing.
What is the difference between tempering and hardening in the context of metal processing?
Tempering and hardening are both heat treatment processes used in metal processing. Hardening involves heating the metal to a high temperature and then rapidly cooling it to increase its hardness and strength. Tempering, on the other hand, involves reheating the hardened metal to a lower temperature to reduce its brittleness and improve its toughness. In essence, hardening makes the metal harder and stronger, while tempering makes it tougher and more ductile.
Who is a Person who makes things from metal?

What does heat do to metal?
When heat is applied to metal: It expands the metal Makes it hotter (Obviously) Makes it more maliable (Bendy) Can change its state to liquid at extreme temperatures.
