they can be solid, liquid, or gases at room temp.
low conductor of heat and electriciy and are brittle
what are the characteristics of metals? metals? non-metals?
Non-metals.
metalaoids have both the characteristics of metals and non metals. ex:-boron,germanyum.
The group of elements that share characteristics of metals and non metals is metalloids.
no, but there are metalloids, which have properties of both metals and non metals
Metalloids
Some characteristics of non-metals are that they are poor conductors of electricity and heat, brittle, and have high electronegativities. On the Periodic Table, examples of non-metals are nitrogen, carbon, the halogens, and sulfur.
Metals are elements that are usually malleable, ductile, conductive of heat and electricty, and lusterous. Non metals are elements that do not exhibit these characteristics. Metaloids are elements with intermediate properties.
No, arsenic is a metalloid, which means it has characteristics of both metals and non-metals.
Metals and Nonmetals have specific characteristics. Two characteristics of Nonmetals are typically brittle and do not shape easily, and they do not conduct heat or electricity well.
They are both considered to be Metalloids meaning they have some metal characteristics and some non-metal characteristics.
Bromine is a halogen. The Halogens are very reactive non-metals.
