Which group of elements are mostly solids that can be shiny and are often thermally or electrically conductive, and can be shaped?
Metals
Noble gases
Semi-conductors
Non-metals
This element is a gas used to make colourful signs, and is very unreactive
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Neon
Xenon
Gold is... (tick all the things that are true about gold)
A metal
Unreactive and often found just as it is
Easily shaped
Usually a gas
Easily polished and shined
Hydrogen is a very light, explosive gas, and the first element on the periodic table
True
False
Nitrogen is a gas that makes up 78% of our atmosphere
True
False
This element is a metal that is liquid at room temperature and is poisonous to humans. Despite that, it was used in thermometers.
Carbon
Chlorine
Mercury
Boron
This element is a metal that forms an important part of our bones and teeth.
Calcium
Sulfur
Helium
Nitrogen
Which group of elements are extremely reactive gases? One is used to etch glass, one is used to sterilise things, and one is used to treat water.
Noble gases (helium, neon, xenon)
Halogen gases (chlorine, fluorine, iodine)
Alkali earth metals (beryllium, magnesium, calcium)
The human body is entirely organic (based on carbon) and doesn't need any metals to function
True
False
Oxygen is... (tick all that are true)
A gas
Essential for fire reactions
A shiny metal
Reactive
Which of these are metals?
Sodium
Argon
Phosphorus
Boron
This metal is electrically and thermally conductive and has a distinctive orange-red colour. It can easily be shaped.
Zinc
Iron
Copper
Carbon
Lead is a heavy, dull grey metal, and is poisonous to humans
True
False
All elements are equally common on Earth and in the universe as a whole
True
False
This metal is easily shaped, strong, and can be made even stronger by adding carbon to make steel. On the other hand, it rusts easily if not protected
Arsenic
Hydrogen
Iron
Silver
