The answer is:

A. They can be formed into wires.

B.They are shiny.

D. They are good conductors

E.can be easily shaped by hammering or pounding.

The explanation:

Let's see the characteristics of the most metals:

1) the most metals can be hit by a hammer and form a thin sheets without breaking and this called malleability.

for example: Aluminium and copper

2) They can form into a very thin wires and this called ductility

for example: silvar , Aluminium and copper.

3) The metal can conduct the heat and the electricity very easy and quick, this mean that the meals are good conductor for the heat and electricity.

4)The metals like gold can be used at jewellery because it is very shiny.

5) and answer C is wrong because most metals are solid at room temperature.

Answer:

Option A, B, D and E are the characteristics of Metal

Explanation:

Some of the common characteristics of most of the metals are -

a) Most of the metal have lustrous surface which means they glitter in the presence of light for example - Iron, copper etc.

b) All metals are malleable which means they can be molded into different shape on beating for example copper can be converted into copper wire, jug, plates etc.

c) All metals are good carrier of charge and thus they are good conductors. These metals have valence shells electron which are free to move with a small force. Good metal conductors are copper , iron etc

d) Most of the metal are solid at room temperature.
