Properties of Metals

The properties of the metal have special properties that are the basis of the user, powerful except for mercury, can be forged and can be stretched. A good electrical conductor and a good conductor of heat when a particular part is heated,

Shiny when rubbed or exposed to light, at room temperature in solid form except mercury and has relatively high karapan and metal properties very much of course. and you should know there are also some types of metal such as.

The properties of the metal are associated with to the negative electro, ie tend to release electrons that form positive ions. So the properties of the metal depend on the ionization energy. Revisited in the form of electron configuration, the elements of metal tend to release electrons, while non-metallic elements tend to capture electrons.

In accordance with the tendency of ionization and electronegativity energy, the metallic-nonmetal properties in the periodic elements are:

From top to bottom in one class, the properties of metal increase, while the non-metallic properties are reduced.

From left to right in a period, the properties of the metal decreases, while the nonmetal properties increase.
