Term
Definition
metal   element that typically is a hard, shiny solid, is malleable, and is a good conductor of heat and electricity  
🗑
Malleable   ability of metals and alloys to be rolled or hammered into thin sheets  
🗑
ductile   ability of metals to be drawn into wires.  
🗑
metallic bonding   occurs because electrons move freely among a metal's positively charged ions and explains properties such as ductility and the ability to conduct electricity  
🗑
radioactive element   element such as radium whose nucleus breaks down and emits particles and energy  
🗑
transition element   jelements in groups 3 though 12 of the periodic table occur in nature as cuncombined elements and include the iron triad and coinage metals  
🗑
nonmetal   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.  
🗑
diatomic molecule   a molecule that consists of two atoms of the same element  
🗑
salt   compound formed when negative ions from an acid combine with positive ions from a base  
🗑
sublimation   the process of a solid changing directly to a vapor without forming a liquid  
🗑
metalloid   element that shares some properties with metals and some with nonmetals  
🗑
allotrope   different forms of the same element having different molecular structures.  
🗑
semiconductor   materials having conductivity properties between that of metals and nonmetals and having controllable conductivity parameters  
🗑
transuranium element   elements having more than 92 protons all of which are synthetic and unstable  
🗑
