The symbol for the element in group 6 period 6
What is W ?
The ability to be formed or shaped under pressure (e.g., metals hammered or rolled into thin sheets)
What is malleability ?
The difference between beginning and ending volume after an object is placed in cylinder
What is displacement ?
I am malleable, but do not have a shiny luster
What is a metalloid ?

What are metals ?
The ability to conduct electrical current or thermal energy
What is conductivity ?
A gold ring was lowered into a graduated cylinder holding a volume of water equal to 15 ml. The height of the water rose to 20 ml. The mass of the ring was 30 g; find the density.
What is 6 g/mL ?
The volume of the ring was 5 and the mass was 30 so 30 divided by 5
