Question

Luster, malleability, ductility, and conductivity are all properties of which kind of material?

Answer 1

metals

The image above is of a copper plate that was made in 1893. The utensil has a great deal of elaborate decoration and the item is very useful. What would have happened if we decided that copper  I  chloride was just as good a material  well, it does have copper in it . The CuCl would end up as a powder when we pounded on it to shape it. Metals behave in unique ways. The bonding that occurs in a metal is responsible for its distinctive properties: luster, malleability, ductility, and excellent conductivity.
