Answer:
HARDNESS
Explanation:
One key physical difference between transition metals and poor metals is their "" Hardness"" which is
the ability of a material to resist deformation. The test for hardness can be determined by a standard test which is the measurement of surface resistance to indentation. hardness tests are defined the shape and also type of indent.
The poor metals are also referred to as post transition metals. They are elements that are found at the right of the transition metals,they are located in the p-block,Their properties is as a result of their low melting and boiling point compare to other metals.They have high electronegativity and conductivity but softer texture compare to other metals.They are very soft more than the transition metals, but they cannot be cannot be classified as metalloids.
Poor metals includes elements in the periodic table such as; aluminium, gallium, indium, thallium, tin, lead, bismuth, and polonium.
