Sarah needs to replace part of the metal railing on her deck and wants the new railing to match the existing railing. However, she does not know what metal the railing is made from. Which is a property that she can use to identify the metal?

There are many ways to test and identify metal. The easiest way is observing its color. Also how reflective it is. Other ways would be boiling point, melting point, density, or conductivity of the metal.
Hope This Helps and God Bless!
