1
Q
Appearance and touch
A
Hard and shiny - strong metallic bond
2
Q
Electrical conductivity
A
Good conductor of heat and electricity
3
Q
Density
A
High density
–> because of the increased mass but decreased size of the atoms in the metal)
4
Q
Melting and boiling points
A
HIgh meting and boiling point compared to Group I and II metals
(large amount of energy required to break the strong metallic bonds)
