Metalloids have melting points that are generally lower than those of metals but higher than those of nonmetals. Their melting points can vary depending on the specific element and its atomic structure.
Which metal needs to be specified. Look in a Chemistry book or reference book. All metals have their own melting and boiling points - that's one of the ways we identify which metal the item is made of.
Metalloids typically have higher melting points than non-metal elements but lower melting points than most metals. This is because metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and non-metals, giving them melting points that fall between the two categories.
Generally, metals have higher melting points compared to non-metals. This is because metals have strong metallic bonds that require more energy to break, while non-metals have weaker intermolecular forces. Additionally, the arrangement of atoms in the crystal lattice of metals allows for efficient heat transfer, contributing to their higher melting points.
Not all metals are hard, as some metals like gold and lead are relatively soft. Additionally, while many metals have high melting points, some metals like mercury have low melting points. The properties of metals can vary widely depending on the specific metal in question.
No. Group 1 metals (commonly called the alkali metals) have low melting points.

Some examples of metals with low melting and boiling points include mercury, cesium, and gallium. These metals have melting and boiling points significantly lower than traditional metals like iron and copper.
Yes.
Not really, most have low boiling points, except for carbon, for example, which has one of the highest boiling points of any substance at 4827 ºC and Silicon boils at 2355 ºC. Iodine boils at a higher temperature than mercury.
Metals have high melting points. Metals lack ionic bonding and possess metallic bonds that are so strong that it takes so much heat to break them apart.
