Question

Which of the following is true of all metals

A they are hard solids they
B have high melting and boiling point
C they have 1-3 valence electrons
D they are malleable and ductile

Answer 1

Metals are malleable and ductile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Metals have several characteristics:

1. They are shiny
2. They are solid at room temperature (except for mercury)
3. They are malleable and ductile
4. They are good conductors of heat and electricity
5. They tend to lose electrons and form ionic compounds with nonmetals

Based on these characteristics, the statement that is true for all metals is that they are malleable and ductile.
