Question

• __________ = the ability of the substance to conduct __________. this may be tested with a conductivity meter
• __________ = the ability of the substance to be __________ into sheets without breaking.
• __________ = the ability of the substance to be pulled into a __________.

metals are –

• found to the ____________ of the zigzag line on the periodic table.
• __________ at room temperature, except for __________, which is a liquid.
• __________ conductors of electricity and __________. but some are better conductors than others!
• metallic looking with a ____________.
• ____________ and can be drawn into wire, but some metals are more ductile than others.
• ____________ and can be hammered into sheets without breaking.

Explanation:

First Fill - in (Conductivity)

The first blank is about the ability of a substance to conduct, which is "Conductivity", and the second is what it conducts, typically "electricity" (or "heat" but electricity is common for conductivity meter context).

The ability to be hammered into sheets is "Malleability", and the action is "hammered" (or "beaten", but hammered is standard).

The ability to be pulled into a wire is "Ductility", and the result is a "wire".

Answer:

• First blank: Conductivity
• Second blank: electricity

Second Fill - in (Malleability)
