- 1. Multiple ChoiceIron (Fe) is classified as a metal while Silicon (Si) is classified as a metalloid. Which physical property do these two elements most likely have in common? They bothexist as gases at room temperaturehave a metallic shine or lusterare brittle and shatter easilyconduct electricity very well
- 2. Multiple ChoiceA student is given a sample of an unknown substance. He is asked to determine if it is classified as a metal, a metalloid, or a nonmetal. He discovered that the unknown element conducted some heat and electricity, had a shiny luster, and broke easily. This element is most likely ametalnonmetalmetalloidcannot be determined
- 3. Multiple Choice
Which table below correctly lists the properties of metals and nonmetals? *ABCD - 4. Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following is a property of a non-metal?Conducts electricity and heats wellCan be hammered into thin sheetsIs brittle and breaks easilyHas a shiny, metallic luster
- 5. Multiple ChoiceAll of the following are properties used to classify elements as metals, non-metals, and metalloids EXCEPT —textureconductivitylustermalleability
- 6. Multiple ChoiceThese items are on the right side of the Periodic Table.MetalsMetalloidsNonmetals
- 7. Multiple ChoiceA student tested the conductivity of four elements using an incomplete electrical circuit. When the element is placed in the circuit, the bulb lights up brightly, lights up dimly, or does not light up at all based on the element’s ability to conduct electricity. The table below shows the results of her investigation. Based on the results of the conductivity test, which element is classified as a metal?HydrogenArsenicKryptonCopper
