Ohm's Law is always obeyed.\nIf a conductor is non-linear it has a coefficient of resistance - thermal, pressure, tensile, even voltage-dependent.\nMeasure the current thru it and the voltage across it and you have the instantaneous resistance at the time of measurement.\nThe law stands, but the result may not be static.

Copper is used as a conductor and as a easily maliable (formable) metal.  It is also naturally anti-bacterial.

The general properties of metals are:\nThey are usually solid (exception is mercury) - argon is a gas\nThey all conduct electricity - argon doesn't conduct electricity\nThey form salts with acids - argon doesn't form any compounds let alone salts.\nThey conduct heat well - argon is a very poor conductor of heat.\nSo argon doesn't qualify as a metal on any count.

one cannot measure electronegativity.it has been given on the Pauling scale given by Pauling .and charge can be determined by the valency of the element.

Pure silver is nearly white, lustrous, soft, very ductile, malleable, it is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. It is not a chemically active metal, but it is attacked by nitric acid (forming the nitrate) and by hot concentrated sulfuric acid. It has the highest electrical conductivity of all metals, but its greater cost has prevented it from being widely used for electrical purposes.\n\nSilver is almost always monovalent in its compounds, but an oxide, a fluoride, and a sulfide of divalent silver are known. It does not oxidize in air but reacts with the hydrogen sulfide present in the air, forming silver sulfide (tarnish). This is why silver objects need regular cleaning. Silver is stable in water.\n\nProperties\n----------\nAtomic number 47\nAtomic mass 107.87 g.mol -1\nElectronegativity according to Pauling 1.9\nMelting point 962 °C\nBoiling point 2212 °C\nVanderwaals radius 0.144 nm\nIonic radius 0.126 nm\nIsotopes 11\nElectronic shell [ Kr ] 4d10 5s1\nEnergy of first ionization 758 kJ.mol -1\nEnergy of second ionization 2061 kJ.mol -1\nDiscovered by The ancients\n\nDensity of solid [/kg m-3]: 10490  \nMolar volume [/cm3]: 10.27  \nVelocity of sound [/m s-1]: 2600  \n\nElastic properties\nYoungs modulus [/GPa]: 83  \nRigidity modulus [/GPa]: 30  \nBulk modulus [/GPa]: 100  \nPoissons ratio [no units]: 0.37  \n\nHardnesses\nMineral hardness [no units]: 2.5  \nBrinell hardness [/MN m-2]: 24.5  \nVickers hardness [/MN m-2]: 251  \n\nElectrical properties\nElectrical resistivity [/10-8 Ω m; or mΩ cm]: 1.6  \n\nReflectivity [/%]: 97

piece of metal that is exposed to an electromagnetic field\n\n\nBasically the individual atoms of the material are polarized to begin with, but they're scrambled among each other. Putting them in a magnetic field just makes many of them align and have a higher degree of directional attraction.

melting points are mostly determined by the bonding between atoms and the polarity of the atoms in the rest of the molecule (if any).  In metals, it's all about the bonding.  All metals have metallic bonding; not all metallic bonds are created equal.

All Metals are tend to loose their electrons easily.\nSo if U heat an metal Rod then it's electrons gets energy by heating and start transferring to the other end of the Metal rod. So the other end is seemed to hot

As a metallic element has other elements combined to it, it takes on various properties.\n\nSteel is primarily a combination of Iron and carbon.  The properties of steel are caused not only by the percent of other elements but at what temperature the steel has reached and how fast it has been cooled.

To know whether it is a metal you can check its electrical conductivity. To know whether it is specifically palladium you can use mass spectrometer or a x-ray diffraction measurement.

ohm's law states that current throught a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied to it.\n\nso,  i oc V\n=> i = R*V where R is proportionality constant called resistance of the conductor. \n\nResistance of a material is the electrical property which opposes the flow of electrons or current.

Its a Metal, hence responds to / is a conductor of heat.\n\nIts fluid so the expansion per gradient of heat would be highest.\n\n\nAll other liquids are not a conductor of heat ( or as good as mercury)

very poor syntax of your question......... \n\nI guess you want to know what two different metals together can make.....\n.... a thermostat\n\nthe two metals expand/contract at different rates causing a "bend" in the Bi-metal strip which will  open/close a contact switch and turn on/off the air conditioner or heater.

Metals have a much higher thermal conductivity than similar non-metals.  This is because, in addition to the transport of heat by atomic vibration, heat is also carried very efficiently by the mobile electrons.  The electrons in a metal create something called an electron gas, and this gas actually has a temperature.  The electrons in this gas are free to move around carrying heat with them, and the electron gas heats the bulk of the metal.\n\nNote that it is not the individual electrons which are "hot", it is the statistical properties of huge numbers of electrons all moving at once that leads to us calling the electron gas "hot".  In a hot electron gas, some electrons are in a higher energy state than they need to be because there are empty quantum states at lower energies that can accept them.  The electrons can drop into those states by giving up some kinetic energy to an atomic nucleus, effecitvely injecting heat into the system at that point.  When you heat up one part of the metal, that heat kicks electrons out of their lowest energy states, making a hole that another electron can drop into, and the effect is that heat is moved from one part of the metal to another.\n\nNon-metallic solids do not have this electron gas conduction mechanism, so thermal conductivity in those substances is generally much lower.

You really can't unless the metal in question in tested in an actual circuit. \n\nMany metals (nichrome, for instance) increase greatly in resistance as the current heats them up - and, conversely, some decrease in resistance when heated (many semiconductors, for instance).\n\nThe equation for watts is P=IE, where P is the power or watts, I is the current or amps, and E is the applied voltage. \nOhms Law (R=E/I) will determine the actual resistance of the metal once the above quantities are known.
