Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, and are malleable (they can be hammered into sheets) and ductile (they can be drawn into wire). Most of the metals are solids at room temperature, with a characteristic silvery shine (except for mercury, which is a liquid).

Detailed explanation-2: -Metal – element that is shiny, malleable, ductile, and a good conductor or heat and electricity.

Detailed explanation-3: -A metal is an element that is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Metals are also malleable, which means that they can be hammered into very thin sheets without breaking. They are ductile, which means that they can be drawn into wires.

Detailed explanation-4: -Metals are lustrous, malleable, and are good conductors of heat and electricity.

Detailed explanation-5: -Copper, silver, aluminum, gold, steel, and brass are common conductors of electricity. The most highly conductive metals are silver, copper, and gold.
