If you have a material that can conduct electricity well it is probably a...

• Metalloid
• Matter
• Non-metal
• Metal

Unlike non-metals, most metals tend to —

• conduct electricity and heat well.
• be gases at room temperature.
• break easily when hammered.
• have less luster and shine.

Metals are shiny, good conductors, malleable, and ductile.

• True

• False

When describing physical properties of elements the term shiny is scientifically described as

• pretty

• lustrous

• sleek

Metalloids have the same properties as

• metals.

• nonmetals.

• neither, they are a combination of both.
