Question
which of these is a property of a metal sample? the sample will have a very low melting point. the sample insulates against electrical conductivity. the valence electrons are held tightly in place to their atoms. the sample will be malleable.
Metals generally have high melting points (so the first option is wrong). Metals are good conductors of electricity (so the second option is wrong). In metals, valence electrons are delocalized (not held tightly, so the third option is wrong). Malleability (ability to be hammered into thin sheets) is a property of metals.
