electrical conductivity
Conductors- allows electricity to pass through easily
Insulator- does not allow electricity to flow through easily
thermal conductivity
Conductors- metals are good conductors, they conduct heat easily.
Insulators- wood and plastic are good insulators, does not allow the heat to flow through easily.
response to magnetic forces- is attracted to magnets
solubility- it dissolves in water
