What are Metals?

The Metals in this group are like all other metals; they are good conductors of heat and electricity. They are malleable and ductile. Aluminum is the most common of the Metals. Other common members of the Metals are Lead and Tin. The symbols for Lead and Tin are derived from their Latin names: Plumbum means Lead whose symbol is Pb and Stannum means Tin whose symbol is Sn. Polonium is radioactive. [LM] {CI}
