– A typical metal is a hard, shiny solid that –due to metallic bonding — is malleable, ductile, and a good

conductor.

– Malleable means it can be hammered or rolled into sheets.

– Metallic bonding is where positively charged metallic ions are surrounded by a �sea of electrons.�

– Group 1 is the alkali earth metals. They are good conductors of heat and electricity, and they are highly

reactive. They include: lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium.

– Group 2 is the alkaline earth metals. They are so reactive that they aren�t found free in nature. They include:

beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium.

– Transition elements (Groups 3-12) include: the iron triad; the coinage metals (copper, silver, gold); and the zinc,

cadmium, and mercury.

– Only elements in the iron triad (iron, cobalt, nickel) can be magnetic.

– Copper is often used in electric wiring due to its ability to conduct electricity.

-Coinage metals– resistant to rusting and other chemical reactions,— Cu, Ag, Au

RE:
elements that are shiny and malleable and conduct heat and electricity?plz help me it about atoms?
help me plz i like had 6 pages of homework and yes i need help on 2 of the qus but i asked a person that qus and it is right i just wish i could aprov her for best answer like right now but i have 2 wait 4 hour sad but oh well
