| 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 |
