Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids Test Review

What are metals?

• Elements that share properties of both metals and nonmetals, found along the stair-step line

• Elements that are dull, brittle, and poor conductors; many are gases at room temperature

• Elements that are shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity

• Elements used in technology such as cell phones, magnets, and renewable energy

What are nonmetals?

• Elements that share properties of both metals and nonmetals, found along the stair-step line

• Elements that are dull, brittle, and poor conductors; many are gases at room temperature

• Elements that are shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity

• Elements used in technology such as cell phones, magnets, and renewable energy

What are metalloids?

What is luster?

• Property of a metal that describes its ability to be hammered without breaking

• Property of a metal that describes its ability to be drawn into a wire

• Property of a metal that describes it as shiny since it reflects light

• Property of a metal that describes its ability to allow heat or electricity to flow through it
