Metal by Caleb

A metal is a solid that is usually shiny malleable and ductile. Many metals are good thermal and electrical conductors. Malleable metals, such as gold, can be flattened to very thin sheets. Metals are used in almost all things. They are used in most technological devices that are produced.

          Metals are frequently used to hold things together, or hold things up. Metals are mined from the earth using quarries and mineshafts. There are different types of metal like alkaline earth metals and alkali metals. Alkaline earth metals are in group 2 of the periodic table. Alkali metals are the element found in group 1 on the periodic table.
