The following are the properties of materials.
Q. What are three metal properties?
Properties of metals

- high melting points.
- good conductors of electricity.
- good conductors of heat.
- high density.
- malleable.
- ductile.
Q. What are called metals?
In chemistry, a metal is an element that readily forms positive ions (cations) and has metallic bonds. Most elements on this line are metalloids, sometimes called semi-metals; elements to the lower left are metals; elements to the upper right are nonmetals.
- Roughness or smoothness.
- Hardness or softness.
- Transparency, translucency or opaqueness.
- Physical state (solid, liquid or gas)
- Appearance (shiny or dull)
- Solubility or insolubility in water.
- Heaviness or lightness with respect to water.
- Attraction towards magnet.
Q. What is the need for classification Class 6?
Classification is important because it allows scientists to identify, group, and properly name organisms via a standardized system (Linnaeus Taxonomy); based on similarities found in the organisms DNA/RNA (genetics), Adaptations (Evolution), and Embryonic development (Embryology) to other known organisms to better.
Q. Why do we need to group materials Class 6?
Grouping the objects helps us to arrange them in a systematic manner. The objects when grouped are easy to handle. When grouped, it is easy to know the properties of an object clearly. Grouping also makes easy to compare two objects.
Q. What are the basis of sorting?
Answer: The similarities in properties of materials is the basis for the grouping of materials. The simillarties in properties like colour, size and shape are important properties of a matter based on which materials grouped easily.
Q. Why do we need to classify the materials?
Classification of materials helps us in ascertaining which two materials are similar in nature. It also helps in dividing the materials based on their composition and their properties. It simplifies the task and lets us devote our time to the more important aspects of materials.
Q. Why do we need to group the materials?
Materials are grouped together on the basis of similarities and differences in their properties. Materials are grouped together for convenience and to study their properties. Grouping materials saves our time, energy and makes our work easier.
