At room temperature most metals are solids. They are this way in order to be malleable so they can be worked.

What are properties of mettalloids?

their properties are in the middle of metals and nonmetals. they are semi conductive, semi metallic, semi malleable, semi ductile, and some give up electrons while some take electrons.


How are metals nonmetals and metaloids arranged on the periodic table?

Actually every element is arranged by atomic number and which electron shell is their outermost one. most often, the columns in the table share certain characteristics, so the metals, non-metals, and Noble gases (also non-metals) arrange pretty much by column, with columns 1-12 being metals, 13-16 split between metalloids and non-metals, 17 being non-metal only, and 18 being Noble gases.

Two differences between liquids and solids?

There are a few differences between liquids and solids. Two of these differences are that a solid is solid at room temperature, while a liquid remains fluid. A liquid will fill the shape of whatever container it rests in, while a solid maintains its shape.


How do you supersaturate a solution?

Most often, by preparing a saturated solution of a substance in a solvent in which the solubility of the substance increases with temperature, then lowering the temperature while taking care to avoid agitation of or the intrusion of solids into the solution.

It is not true; many metals are very reactive and several nonmetals are nonreactive.


Scientists divide elements into?

Scientists divide the elements on the periodic table into metals and non-metals, with a subcategory of transition metals in between. Gasses are on the right of the periodic table, while metals are on the left.
