What are the THREE properties of elements?
The main three properties of the metals are malleability (you can shape it easily), ductility (you can turn it into a wire) and conductivity (it will carry heat and electricity very well).
What is a well known heavy element?
One well-known heavy element is uranium. It is commonly used as a fuel in nuclear reactors and is known for its radioactive properties.
Which physical test can be used to distinguish between a metal element and a non-metal element?
One physical test that can be used to distinguish between a metal element and a non-metal element is the ability to conduct electricity. Metals generally conduct electricity well, whereas non-metals are poor conductors. Another test is the luster or appearance - metals are usually shiny and have a metallic luster, while non-metals are dull in appearance.
What is a non-metal?
A non-metal is an element on the periodic table that does not have the properties of a metallic element, such as malleability. Nonmetals are usually found in nature as gases or weak, brittle solids. All group 17 and 18 elements are nonmetals, as well as hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulfur, and selenium.
What is the ability to transmit electrical currents called?
The ability to transmit electrical currents is called conductivity. Materials that conduct electricity well are known as conductors, while those that do not conduct electricity are known as insulators.
