Nickel (Ni) is an element found in Group 10 of the periodic table of elements (see periodic table at the top of this quiz). Based on its location in the periodic table, which of these is a property of nickel?
A Low density
B Strong semi conductor
C Highly reactive with other elements
D Good conductor of heat and electricity
I feel like the answer is D but I am honestly really lost.
I think you're guessing (big time) but your guessing gene is pretty good. We don't do quizzes but I just confirmed your guess.
Thank you.
Answer is D.
To determine which property of nickel corresponds to its location in Group 10 of the periodic table, we can look at the general trends and characteristics of elements in that group.
Group 10, also known as the Transition Metals, is located in the middle of the periodic table. These elements usually have properties that are a combination of those found in metals and nonmetals.
Option A, "Low density," may not be the best choice for nickel. Typically, elements in Group 10 have higher densities compared to elements in other groups.
Option B, "Strong semiconductor," is also not correct. Nickel is not considered a semiconductor.
Option C, "Highly reactive with other elements," is also not accurate. Elements in Group 10, including nickel, are generally less reactive compared to elements in other groups on the periodic table.
Option D, "Good conductor of heat and electricity," is the most accurate choice. Nickel, as a transition metal, is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity.
Therefore, the correct answer is D, "Good conductor of heat and electricity."
