Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids, properties and Classificatio

Front

What are the chemical properties of nonmetals?

Back

Nonmetals have properties such as low melting and boiling points, poor conductors of heat and electricity, and tend to gain electrons in chemical reactions.

Front

What is the periodic table classification of metalloids?

Back

Metalloids are classified as elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals.

Define metals.

Back

Metals are elements that are typically shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, and are malleable and ductile.

Front

Define nonmetals.

Back

Nonmetals are elements that generally have low melting and boiling points, are poor conductors of heat and electricity, and tend to gain electrons in reactions.
