The statement "light possesses two properties: photons and waves" is not true because photons are not a property of light: they're the way light is emitted and absorbed. The correct statement is "light possesses two properties: particles and waves."

Other properties of light include intensity, propagation direction, frequency, polarization.

More information:

Wave/Particle duality of light is one of the longest running paradoxes in Physics. It's wave characteristics, as described by Schrodinger function, are well proven. It's particle characteristics are also well evidenced though only directly at short ranges and lifetimes. The original assumption that all light comes in Photon particles with mass came from gravitational lensing,- light bent by large objects. We now better understand about curved space time curving everything, massive or not, but light is still described as wave bundle /corpuscles. The Photon is not a 'property', the two characteristics current physics uses are are 'waves' and 'particles'. 'Light' is simply a limited section of the energy wave spectrum that happens to be 'visible' to many creatures living on planet earth.

Is it true or false that physical properties of metals are independent of the number of delocalized electrons they have?

False. The physical properties of metals, such as conductivity and ductility, are influenced by the number of delocalized electrons they have. More delocalized electrons generally result in better conductivity and other related properties.
