Solution

The object is described as hard, shiny, and malleable (can be hammered into thin sheets). These are typical properties of metals. Another common property of metals is that they are good conductors of heat. Therefore, the answer is c) It is a good conductor of heat.

Here's why the other options are less likely:

a) Metals generally do not dissolve in water. b) Metals usually have high boiling points. d) Most metals have a higher density than water.

Here are some properties of Substance X. • It is a soft grey solid with a dull surface. • When cut with a knife, the cut surface is shiny. The surface does not stay shiny for long because substance X reacts with the oxygen in the air to form an oxide. • It reacts violently with water and gives off the gas hydrogen. • It has a melting point of 63.5°C. • It burns with a violet-coloured flame. a Write down three properties of Substance X, and state whether each property is a physical property or a chemical property.
