Metals and Nonmetals



Metals, Nonmetals and Metalloids - Chemistry

Identify each of the following elements as a metal, nonmetal or metalloid.

Give an example and list the physical property described.

Physical Properties: malleable, ductile, luster, electrical and thermal insulators or conductors

• Metals lose electrons and react with acids and have high melting points

• Nonmetals gain electrons and do not react with acids, and have low melting points.
