Solution

These materials can be differentiated on the basis of lustre, hardness, softness, roughness, or smoothness. It is tabulated in the table given below.
Materials Properties
Chalk The texture is rough and cannot be compressed
Iron nail Hard, low density, malleable, high conductivity, and lustrous
Aluminum Hard, ductile, malleable, and lustrous
Candle The texture is smooth, and it can be easily compressed.
Cotton Easily compressible, soft, and non-lustrous
Wood Incompressible, non-lustrous, and hard
