Solution

Dear student
1) Metals are hard without being brittle. Therefore they are used to carry heavy loads.
2) Metals have lustre due to which they are used in making jewellery.
3) Metals are malleable. They can be hammered and pressed into sheets of any shape.
4) Metals are ductile. Thus they are pulled and drawn into wires.
5) Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Electrical wires and cooking utensils are made of metals.

The following metals are being mostly used by majority of us in our daily lives.
Gold, - as ornaments.
Silver, - as ornaments.
Aluminium, - as cooking vessels.
Copper, -as cooking vessels either as copper kalasam, or pancha patra.
