Solution

Metals are substances that show certain properties:-
Metals are generally hard, but exceptions are there sodium and potassium which are soft metals.
Metals produce a ringing sound when struck i.e sonorous.
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Metals have a high melting point and boiling point.
Metals are ductile.
Generally metals have a shiny appearance.
Metals can be used as wires for electrical connections, since-
They are good conductors of electricity, they allow the current to pass easily by causing less resistance.
They are ductile so that they can be drawn into wires and transmission of electricity become easier.
Example: copper (Cu), aluminum (Al).
