Materials with a high fusibility have a --- melting point. LOW. They only need a small amount of heat to convert them to a liquid and make them fuse. Solder has a high fusibility.
Density How much mass is in each unit square.
Absorbency Materials that have a high absorbency are good a soaking up water
Non-metals are... More brittle; less dense; poor conductors; solids at room temperature and dull looking
Metals are... Good conductors; strong; malleable and not very fusible.
Alloys are... a mixture of two more more metals that is developed to have a specific set of characteristics.
