Metals are highly conductive solids (with one exception) that can be molten into liquids under extreme temperatures. They are special for their tenacity and conductivity.
Metals are, perhaps, the genus summum elementalis most easy to generalize. Unexceptionally, they are good conductors of heat, electricity and sound. They are almost all poor conductors of odour, on the other hand. With the exception of mercury, they are tenaceous solids at room temperature. Most are also very hard and sturdy. What distinguishes the various metallic elements are the precise values at which these factors are.
Binds made exclusively with at least 95% metal are called alloys. Many alloys are made with the intention of reaching a middle ground between the proprieties of 2 or more metals.
