Metals, in their pure state, have a shining surface. This property is called  activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting.

Some metals can be beaten into thin sheets. This property is called  activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting.

It is because of their malleability and  activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting that metals can be given different shapes according to our needs.

The best conductors of heat are silver and  activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting.

Lead and  activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting are comparatively poor conductors of heat.

All metals except  activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting exist as solids at room temperature.

Iodine is a non-metal but it is  activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting.

Metal oxides which react with both acids as well as bases to produce salts and water are known as  activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting oxides.

The elements or compounds, which occur naturally in the earth’s crust, are known as  activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting.

Ores mined from the earth are usually contaminated with large amounts of impurities such as soil, sand, etc., called  activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting.

The carbonate ores are changed into oxides by heating strongly in limited air. This process is known as  activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting.

The sulphide ores are converted into oxides by heating strongly in the presence of excess air. This process is known as  activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting.

Metals can form positive ions by losing electrons to  activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting.

A list of common metals arranged in order of their decreasing reactivity is known as an  activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting.

The extraction of metals from their ores and then refining them for use is known as  activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting.

An  activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting is a homogeneous mixture of two or more metals.

The surface of some metals, such as iron, is corroded when they are exposed to moist air for a long period of time. This phenomenon is known as  activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting.

Non-metals form  activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting which are either acidic or neutral.

 activity seriesalloyamphotericcalcinationcoppercorrosionductilityGalvanisationganguelustrousmalleabilitymercurymetallic lustremetallurgymineralsnon-metalsoxidesroasting is a method of protecting steel and iron from rusting by coating them with a thin layer of zinc.
