Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

They are called metals. Metals that are shiny, malleable, ductile and solid are great conductors of electricity EXCEPT mercury because mercury is the only metal that is a liquid at room temperature. Metals that can be hammered or rolled into sheets are ductile and the metal that are drawn into wires are malleable.
