characteristics
 Hardness
● The quality or condition of being hard.

Solid substances are Solid substances Solid substances

soft at room become soft by heating cannot be soften by
temperature heating

Rubber Metals Cool and sulphur

Screwdrivers are made up of
steel iron?
 Electric conduction
●
Good conductors Bad conductors
(allow electricity to flow (do not allow electricity to
through) flow through)
