List at least three different properties that would help you determine whether the bars are made of the same metal.

Refractive index

Heat capacity

Density

Explanation:

Properties that are used to identify materials are called intensive properties. These intensive properties are characteristic of the material and does not depend on the amount of material present.

Thus, if i want to identify whether the three bars are made of the same metal, i can look out for the following properties;

Refractive index

Heat capacity

Density

These properties are intensive properties thus they can be used to identify an unknown substance.
