Element that typically is a hard, shiny solid, is a malleable, and is a good conductor of heat and electricity

Ability of metals and alloys to be rolled or hammered into thin sheets

Ability of metals to be drawn into wires.

Occurs because electrons move freely among a metal's positively charged ions and explains properties such as ductility and the ability to conduct electricity.

Element, such as radium, whose nucleus breaks down and emits particles and energy.

Elements in Groups 3 through 12 of the periodic table; occur in nature as uncombined elements and include the iron triad and coinage metals.

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.

A molecule that consists of two atoms of the same element.

Compound formed when negative ions from an acid combine with positive ions from a base.

The process of a solid changing directly to a vapor without forming a liquid.

Element that shares some properties with metals and some with nonmetals.

Different forms of the same element having different molecular structures.

Materials having conductivity properties between that of metals (good conductors) and non metals (insulators) and having controllable conductivity parameters.

Elements having more than 92 protons, all of which are synthetic and unstable.
