What two properties of metal makes it suitable for over head cables?
Metalloids and non-metals make it useful for electrical-------------------------------------------------------------------------Metals are used in wiring to transfer the electrical energy around your home and non-metalic materials i.e plastics are used as insulators.
A bimetal strip has two metals of different?
It depends on the properties you want. A good chart is provided by EMS at http://www.engineeredmaterialssolutions.com/6-clad_solutions.html that lists applications and the types of bonded material to use.
What two metals will react with dilute hydrochloric acid?
Two metals that will react with dilute hydrochloric acid are zinc and magnesium.
If three quarters of the elements are metals how are the remaining elements categorize?
If you're talking about categorisation that broad, then there are two categories:MetalsNon-metals
What are the difference between ductility and plasticity?
Ductility and malleability are two properties of metals that describe specific tendencies in certain metals. Ductility describes the property of the ability to stretch a metal, without being damaged. Highly ductile materials are useful for stretching into wires. Malleability describes the property of a metals ability to be deformed under compression. Highly malleable materials can be readily rolled or hammered into sheets. While these properties are similar, different materials react differently in these circumstances. Gold or copper for example, are both highly ductile and malleable, whilst lead is only malleable.
What 2 properties of metals mean copper is a suitable material for saucepans?
Two properties of a metal that make copper a suitable material for a saucepan are that it is a good conductor of heat, and it is corrosion resistant. Copper is a metal that has a density of 8. 96 grams per cubic centimeter.
What are the properties that make metals suitable for coins?
Almost any metal is suitable for coins. But from a practical point of view, metals should be fairly hard, so that the imprint doesn't fade too quickly and it shouldn't be too light since most people like their coins to have a little 'weight', certainly if a coin represents a certain value.
Name two properties shared by metals?
they are oxygen and water
Why dont metals break when pounded into sheets or drawn into wires?
Ductility and malleability are two properties of metals

Why do all the alkaline earth metals have similar properties?
All alkaline earth metals loss two electrons.
What are the Two requirements that metals must meet to be suitable as elements?
metallic structure and bonding
What two properties of metals make them good for bicycle frames?
It is light and strong
What two properties are explainedby the pool-of-shared-electrons for metals?
malleability< conductivity
The two properties of metals that pertain to their ability to be drawn into wires are pounded into shape are?
Ductality and malleablity are the two qualities of metals which would make metals' ability to be seperated into wires and sheets respectively.
What are the 2 groups that divide the periodic table and their properties?
Metals and non-metals are the two groups. Metal loose electrons. Non metals gain electrons.
