P5+-+Metals+in+Mixed+Groups

Metals used in metal objects are either pure metals or alloys. Pure metals contain only one sort of metal and alloys contain mixed metals. When chemists talk about a metla, they mean a metal that is an element, a substance made up of just one type of atom. For example the metal in aluminum is made up of just aluminum atoms.
 * Elements: **

** Solids, Liquids, or Gases: ** Metals are usually solids but they can be liquids when melted at a certain temperature.

** Physical Properties: ** One physical property of a metal is they have a very high melting point and they stay in the form of a liquid for a long time. Also metals are usually shiny, or they have luster. Another physical property of a metal is that they are heavy or have a high density.

** Chemical Properties: ** Some chemical properties of a metal is that they can be oxidiezed easily or Corrosion (damaged). Also most metals can react to acids. Another chemical property of a metal is that some metals might react with water.

** Interesting facts: ** Some interesting facts about metals in mixed groups are that they are very useful in making objects that have special properties. Many metals are very strong and have high melting points and can conduct electricity! Another fact is that they make skyscrapers and bridges and machines out of metal.

Uses
Metal can be used to build bridges, water pipes, drinking cans, etc.Jewelry can also be made by very expensive metals.
