Facts about Metals

*** इस पृष्ठ को हिंदी में पढ़े ***‌

Metals: Metals can be generally classified as substances which have the characteristics of malleability, ductility, electrical and thermal conductivity, high density and high reflectivity. All of these properties may not be present in the metals all the time. Most of the elements (about 75%) in the Periodic Table are metals.
