This document discusses the physical properties of metals. It notes that metals are good conductors of electricity and heat. Metals are also malleable, ductile, and have high tensile strength. Additional metal properties include being solid with high density, having higher melting and boiling points than covalent compounds, and emitting electrons in the photoelectric effect.
