Fill in the Blanks Metals and Their PropertiesOnline version Test your knowledge on metals and their diverse properties in this engaging fill-in-the-blanks game! Based on the video Diversity of Materials – Metals Next Generation Science by Marta Alcaraz González 1 rocks Metals purified mining inside are materials found the Earth . They are typically located in certain types of and are extracted through . Once extracted , the metal is through various processes , often involving heat to separate it from any impurities . Once purified , the metal can be shaped and used for many purposes . 2 hard strong structures ductility tools Metals malleability are known for being and . Strength and hardness make them perfect for building like bridges or skyscrapers , making that need to cut or shape other materials , or even creating protective gear like helmets . Their ability to change shape without breaking is due to two properties : and . 3 Malleability sheets aluminum long thin ductility electricity heat conductors wires means a metal can be hammered into , while means it can be pulled out into . This allows us to have everyday items like thin sheets or copper wires in electrical devices . Additionally , metals are great , letting and flow through them , which is why they're common in electrical devices and cookware . 4 corrosion mixtures together alloys and properties new qualities tin bronze copper better Sometimes , people mix different metals to give them even . These of metals are called . Alloys often have more suited to their intended use . For example , mixing gives us , which is stronger than either metal on its own . Aluminum , copper , and zinc are commonly mixed to make aluminum alloy , which is commonly used to make boats where the metal needs to be strong and also withstand . Jewelry and many of the metals used in the construction of airplanes are also alloys .
