TRUE or FALSE;

Metals are Good conductors of heat;

TRUE

FALSE

Multiple Choice

TRUE or FALSE;

Metals are Good conductors of electricity;

TRUE

FALSE

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is not true of metals?

They are good insulators

They are malleable

They are ductile

They are malleable

They are shiny

Multiple Choice

TRUE or FALSE;

Metals are made up of positive ions closely packed together.

TRUE

FALSE

Multiple Choice

Metals are shiny because

Light energy falling on them is emitted by excited electrons

The surface is soft

Light energy is used to make soft electrons

Energy is reflected on the surface

Multiple Choice

Metals are good conductors of heat because

There's a free flow of electrons, which vibrate when heated, increasing temperature

The material is a good conductor

There are so many electrons that move away when heated

When heated, the electrons shrink to create space for the heat to be transferred

Multiple Choice

Metals are good conductors of electricity because

Free electrons in the metal can be repelled easily by new electrons entering the metal

The material is a good conductor

There are so many electrons that vibrate to conduct a current

When the switch is connected, the electrons jump up and down to easily.

Multiple Select

Malleable means; (Select 3 answers)

Ability to deform in response to an applied force

Change shape when pressed / hammered

Ability to be hammered without breaking / cracking

Ability to reform / rejoin / regain shape after breaking / cracking

Multiple Choice

Metals are malleable because;

the mobile sea of electrons shields the ions from each other

the mobile sea of electrons opposes the applied force

Metals are already strong to outside forces

the mobile sea of electrons cancels out the applied force

Fill in the Blanks

The most malleable metal is

Type answer...

Multiple Choice

Which of these is the most malleable metal?

Copper

Iron

Gold

Aluminium

Multiple Choice

"Ductile" means

metals are like duct tape

metals can be made into long thin wires

Metals cannot break easily

All of these

Multiple Choice

Metals are "ductile" because

the mobile sea of electrons shields the ions from each other

the mobile sea of electrons can be stretched

metals are made to be used in wiring

Fill in the Blanks

Francium

Cesium

Gallium

Rubidium

Mercury

Multiple Select
