1. Which elements are shiny? metals only metals and nonmetals nonmetals only metals and some of the metalloids 2. Which elements are to the right of the zig zag (staircase) area on the periodic table? metals metalloids nonmetals 3. Sulfur is considered: malleable brittle ductile a good conductor 4. How did you find out if an element is a good conductor? turned black hit it with a hammer bubbled in the presence of acid it lit up a light bulb 5. Ductile means..... can be made into wire can be bent or hammered can light up a light bulb it's shiny 6. Copper can be used to make statues like the statue of liberty..... therefore copper is shiny therefore copper is ductile therefore copper is a conductor therefore copper is malleable 7. Which of these was NOT a conductor? Lead Zinc Sulfur Aluminum 8. Substances that can be hammered into thin sheets are: metalloids both metals and nonmetals nonmetals metals 9. Which area has the most elements to the left of the zig zag staircase area of the periodic table? metals metalloids nonmetals 10. Which of the following is a physical characteristicof a metal? insulator malleable brittle semi-conductor 11. Which of the following is a physical characteristicof a nonmetal? malleable conductor luster can be brittle 12. Which of the following is a physical characteristicof a metalloid? ductile malleable semi conductor magnetic 13. A student is examining the physical properties of a sample. The sample is malleable, it does conductelectricity but does not have luster. This sample would be a metal metalloid nonmetal 14. An element has properties of BOTH metals andnonmetals. Where would it be found on the periodic table? to the right of the zig zag line On the zig zag line to the left of the zig zag line 15. If a student observes a dull solid that is malleable, good conductor, and ductile it is a ..... nonmetal metalloid metal Incorrect option 16. What does luster mean? breaks into pieces can be hammered into thin sheets no shine reflects light, shiny 17. What does brittle mean? breaks into pieces can be hammered into thin sheets reflects light, shiny no shine 18. Elements that are metals can best be described as... malleable dull brittle poor conductors |
