Recall the general properties of metals, which include characteristics related to electrical and thermal conductivity, malleability, and typical chemical behavior.
Understand that metals usually have high electrical conductivity because they have free-moving electrons that allow electric current to flow easily.
Recognize that metals are generally good conductors of heat, so 'poor heat conduction' is not a property of metals.
Note that metals tend to lose electrons to form cations, not gain electrons to form anions, which is more typical of nonmetals.
Remember that metals are usually malleable and ductile, meaning they can be shaped without breaking easily, so 'brittle and easily broken' is not a typical metal property.
