The three most general elemental groups are nonmetals, semimetals, and metals. The characteristics you've described fit the "metals" group of elements.
it is a metal
The element that is most likely to be reduced is the element that has the highest reduction potential (E°) in a given redox reaction. The element with a more positive reduction potential is more likely to undergo reduction.
Chromium is a likeley element to be contained in a substance with a brilliant yellow color.
Element A and element B are the most likely to have similar properties because they belong in the same family, because if you know an element's family you can tell the number of valance electrons and the elements they react with. In periods, the properties are not alike, they slowly change in a pattern.
Total up the number of electrons. It appears to be 19, therefore, it likely corresponds to the 19th element on the periodic table, potassium.
The element you are referring to is likely gold. Gold is a shiny and malleable metal, but it is a poor conductor of electricity compared to other metals like copper or silver.
The element described is likely a metal. Metals are solid at room temperature, malleable (can be hammered into thin sheets), good conductors of electricity, and tend to react with oxygen to form oxides. Examples of such metals include copper, iron, and aluminum.
The element you are describing is likely a metal. Metals are typically solid at room temperature, have a high luster or shine, are good conductors of heat and electricity, and are malleable and ductile, meaning they can be hammered into thin sheets and drawn into wires, respectively.

- It is not a ductile metal or- It is not a metal
Based on the properties you described, the unknown element is likely a metal. Metals are typically shiny and good conductors of electricity. You could also predict that it is likely malleable and ductile, as these are common properties of metals.
If the element is likely to be a metal if it is found on the left side of the periodic table, as metals are commonly located on the left side of the periodic table. Metals tend to have characteristics such as being shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity.
That depends on the use. For some purposes, pure gold is good, since it conducts electricity very well and does not corrode. For other uses, such as in thin earrings etc., it is often preferable to mix the gold in an alloy, since it is so malleable that it is likely to lose the original shape.
Someone would most likely receive a shock through the element of electricity.
An element that is shiny, is ductile (easily pulled into wires), is malleable (easily hammered into thin sheets) and conducts electric current and heat is likely to be a metal.You could pick almost any metal and it would fulfill these requirements. Some of the best matches would be gold, silver and copper. Other examples include platinum and lithium. Note that the metallic properties of metals are variable, and some metals have more metallic character than others.
No, I wouldn't. It is more like a insulator, not a conductor. Silver conducts electricity the best. If a current were put through cardboard, it would most likely catch on fire, not conduct electricity.
Copper is the element that is most likely to conduct heat and electricity due to its high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity properties.
