• In the center

• At the bottom

Answer explanation

Most nonmetals are located on the right side of the periodic table.

Which of the following is NOT a common property of metals?

• High Luster

• High Conductivity

• Low Ductility

• High Malleability

Answer explanation

The correct choice is Low Ductility because metals are known for their high ductility, making them easily stretched into wires.

What is the state of most nonmetals at room temperature?

• Solid

• Liquid

• Gas

• Plasma

Answer explanation

Most nonmetals are in the gas state at room temperature, making 'Gas' the correct choice.

What are metalloids also known as?

• Semi-metals

• Nonmetals

• Alloys

• Isotopes

Answer explanation

Metalloids are also known as semi-metals, as they exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals.

Which group in the periodic table do Alkali Metals belong to?

• Group 1

• Group 2

• Group 17

• Group 18

Answer explanation

Alkali Metals belong to Group 1 in the periodic table.

What is NOT a characteristic of Halogens?

• Found in group 17

• Very reactive

• Found uncombined in nature

• Have strong odors

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'Found uncombined in nature' because Halogens are typically found combined with other elements in nature, not in their pure form.

Which of the following is a property of Noble Gases?

• They are very reactive

• They are found in group 2

• They are all gases at room temperature

• They have high densities

Answer explanation

The correct property of Noble Gases is that they are all gases at room temperature.

Alkaline Earth Metals are harder and denser than which of the following?

• Halogens

• Noble Gases

• Alkali Metals

• Nonmetals

Answer explanation

Alkaline Earth Metals are harder and denser than Alkali Metals, making Alkali Metals the correct choice.

Which statement is true about Alkali Metals?

• They are found uncombined in nature

• They have high densities

• They are the most reactive metals

• They are gases at room temperature

Answer explanation

The correct statement about Alkali Metals is that they are the most reactive metals.

Hydrogen is not considered an Alkali Metal even though it is located in group 1 because:

• It is a gas at room temperature

• It is not reactive

• It is not a metal

• It has a high density
