| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Element that typically is a hard, shiny solids, 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 or alloys to be pulled into wires. | Ductile |
| Occurs because electrons move freely among a metal's 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 |
| Element in Group 3 through 12 of the periodic table; occur in nature as uncombined elements and include the iron triad 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 from a base. | Salt |
| The process of a solid changing directly to a vapor without forming a liquid. | Sublimation |
| Element that shares some properties with metals and some with nonmetals. | Metalloid |
| Different forms of the same element having different molecular structure. | 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 |
