Publishing as Benjamin Cummings 11 Properties of Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids Metals • Are shiny and ductile • Are good conductors of heat and electricity Nonmetals • Are dull, brittle, and poor conductors • Are good insulators Metalloids • Are better conductors than nonmetals, but not as good as metals • Are used as semiconductors and insulators 12 Comparing a Metal, Metalloid, and Nonmetal 13 Learning Check Identify each of the following elements as: 1) metal 2) nonmetal 3) metalloid A. sodium ____ B. chlorine ____ C. silicon ____ D. iron ____ E. carbon ____ 14 Solution Identify each of the following elements as: 1) metal 2) nonmetal 3) metalloid A. sodium metal B. chlorine nonmetal C. silicon metalloid D. iron metal E. carbon nonmetal 15 Learning Check Match the elements to the description: A.
