(a) shared by gold, copper, and iron
(b) shared by gold and copper but not iron

Sure! Here are the physical properties based on your categories:

(a) Shared by gold, copper, and iron: High density. All three metals have relatively high densities compared to many other materials.

(b) Shared by gold and copper but not iron: Malleability. Both gold and copper are highly malleable, meaning they can be hammered or pressed into thin sheets, while iron is less malleable.

(c) Shared by diamond and glass: Transparency. Both diamond and glass are transparent materials, allowing light to pass through them.

(d) Not shared by diamond and glass: Hardness. Diamond is one of the hardest known natural materials, while glass is significantly softer and can be scratched easily compared to diamond.
