What properties of nonmetals is the opposite of malleable and ductile?
Brittle
Which of the following is a property of nonmetals poor conductors of electric current very reactive with water malleable shiny?
Many - but not all - are poor conductors of electric current.
Shiny malleable ductile and generally conduct electricity and heat are qualities of what?
nonmetals
Minerals that are generally dull not malleable and not ductile and cannot conduct electricity are .?
Nonmetals
Is malleable properties of both metals and non metals?
Malleability is a property of metals, not nonmetals. Metals are malleable, meaning they can be hammered or pressed into different shapes without breaking. Nonmetals are typically brittle and cannot be molded in the same way.
Minerals that are generally dull not malleable and not ductile and cannot conduct electricity are?
Common minerals that meet these criteria include gypsum, fluorite, and talc. These minerals are generally dull in luster, not malleable or ductile, and are non-conductive of electricity.
Are metalloids malleable and ductile?
Yes, metalloids are ductile they are also malleable, but is not shiny.
What property of nonmetals is the opposite of being mallable and ductile?
Non metals are brittle. They are neither malleable nor ductile.
What are some Malleable substance?
Malleable substances can be hammered into a thin sheet. This is a characteristic of all metals in the solid phase. In contrast nonmetals are brittle in the solid phase. If you take a piece of sulfur and whack it with a hammer a few times you will turn it into sulfur powder not a thin sheet of sulfur.
Why is metal a element?
Nonmetals have properties opposite those of themetals. The nonmetals are brittle, not malleable or ductile, poor conductors of both heat and electricity, and tend to gain electrons in chemical reactions. Some nonmetals are liquids. These elements are shown in the following figure.
