If one metal is radioactive that doesn’t mean all the others are. Uranium is a radioactive metal, therefore all metals are radioactive.

Metals are known to have high density and are shiny when cut or polished. ?

Metal propertyNotes StrongHold heavy loads without breaking MalleableCan be hammered into different shapes DuctileCan be drawn out to make wires SonorousPing when hit High melting points High boiling points Good conductors of electricity Good conductors of heat Solids at room temperatureException: Mercury (Hg) is liquid Shiny when cut or polished Form positive ions High density React with oxygen to form oxides King Edward VI School Chemistry – Year 9 Properties of Metals
