Metals are ____ as the ____ are able to reflect UV light. Metals are good conductors of heat because the ____ are able to ____ heat from the surroundings. They move faster and bump into each other and the ____ in the lattice. This causes heat to be transferred down the piece of metal. Metals are good conductors of electricity because when an electric field is applied, one end of the metal becomes positive and the other ____. The ____ move to the ____ end to ____ the circuit. This causes an electric current and electricity to be conducted. Metals have a high melting and boiling point as there is ____ ____ between the ____ and network of ____ cations. A ____ amount of thermal energy is required to break this attraction. Metals are ____ because when a ____ is applied, the layers of ____ are able to slide past each other. The metallic bond doesn't break due to the ____ electrostatic attraction between the ____ cations and ____ delocalised electrons. This means that metals can be ____ (or hammered) without breaking. Metals are ____ because when a force is applied, the layers of ____ are able to slide past each other. The metallic bond doesn't break due to the non-directional electrostatic attraction between the ____ cations and ____ delocalised electrons. This means that metals can be pulled into ____ without breaking. Metals have a ____ density because the ____ are tightly packed together in the lattice structure.
