In reference to table you helped me with the last question is which elements would be classified as metals.
Does this include just metals
or metals and alltoids and other metals
I answered D & R I have a huge test thanks so much.
You need to refresh my memory about metals, non-metals, and metaloids. Then include yur question at the end.
In order to determine which elements would be classified as metals, we need to refer to the periodic table. The periodic table categorizes elements into several groups, including metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.
Metals are typically located on the left-hand side of the periodic table, forming the majority of elements in the periodic table. They are known for their shiny appearance, ability to conduct electricity and heat, malleability (ability to be deformed into thin sheets), and ductility (ability to be drawn into thin wires). Examples of metals include iron (Fe), copper (Cu), gold (Au), and silver (Ag).
Nonmetals, on the other hand, are typically located on the right-hand side of the periodic table. They have opposite properties compared to metals, including a lack of metallic luster, poor conductivity, and brittleness. Nonmetals include elements such as oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), and carbon (C).
Metalloids fall between metals and nonmetals on the periodic table and have properties intermediate between the two groups. They exhibit characteristics of both metals and nonmetals, making them unique. Silicon (Si), arsenic (As), and germanium (Ge) are examples of metalloids.
Based on your question, if you answered D and R, it seems that you are considering both metals and metalloids. While metals are definitely included in the classification of metals, it's important to note that metalloids are not classified as metals. Therefore, if you only wanted to consider metals, then your answer would be D only.
Good luck with your test!
