Question | Answer |
---|---|
element that typically is a hard, shiny solid,is malleable,and is a good conductor of heat and electricity. | metal |
ability of metals and alloys to be rolled or hammered into thin sheets. | malleable |
ability of metals to be drawn into wires. | ductile |
occurs because electrons move freely among a metals positively charged ions and explains properties such as ductility and the ability to conduct electricity. | metallic bonding |
element,such as radium,whose nucleus breaks down and emits particles and energy. | radioactive element |
elements in groups 3 through 12 of the periodic table;occur in nature as uncombined elements and include the iron trad and coinage metals. | transition element |
element that usually is a gas or brittle solid at room temperature,is not malleable or ductile, is a poor conductor of heat and electricity,and typically is not shiny. | nonmetal |
a molecule that consists of two atoms of the same element. | diatomic molecule |
compound formed when negative ions from an acid combine with positive ions form a base. | salt |
the process of a solid changing directly to a vapor without forming a liquid. | sublimation |
element what shares some properties with metals and some with nonmetal. | metalloid |
different forms of the same element having different molecular structures. | allotrope |
materials having conductivity properties between that of metals (good conductors) and nonmetals (insulator) and having controllable conductivity parameters. | semiconductor |
elements having more than 92 protons,all of which are synthetic and unstable. | transuranium element |
