        Help!  

Term
Definition
Insulator   A substance that resists electrical current or the flow of heat  
🗑
Malleable   Can be hammered into sheets and other shapes without breaking (property of metals)  
🗑
Conductor   A substance that allows the flow of electric charge or transfers thermal energy  
🗑
Ductile   can be drawn into wires (metals)  
🗑
Physical property of metals   luster, malleable, ductile, conductive, higher, densities  
🗑
Physical property of Nonmetals   dull, brittle  
🗑
Luster   How a surface of a material shines or reflects light  
🗑
Conductivity   The ability to transfer heat, sound, or electricity easily  
🗑
Brittle   Breaks easily when force is applied.  
🗑
Metals   A solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, ductile, and conducts heat and electricity well.  
🗑
Metalloids   have properties of both metals and non-metals. For example, it may conduct electricity well but is brittle (and therefore, not malleable).  
🗑
Non-Metals   are not able to conduct electricity or heat very well, very brittle (breakable), and cannot be made into wires or pounded into sheets  
🗑
Hardness   measure of how resistant a solid is to shape change when a force is applied.  
🗑
