The three most general elemental groups are nonmetals, semimetals, and metals. The characteristics you've described fit the "metals" group of elements.

What element is shiny malleable and a poor conductor of electricity?

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.


How is classified a solid element that is malleable a good conductor of electricity and reacts with oxygen?

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.


Which type of element has the following general properties solid at room temperature high luster good conductor of heat and electricity malleable and ductile?

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.


If an element has gray luster and can be drawn into a wire what element is it?

it is a metal


A material you are testing conducts electricity but cannot be pulled into wires. It is most likely a?

- It is not a ductile metal or- It is not a metal


An unkown element is shiny and is found to be a good conductor of electircity what other properties would you predict for it?

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?

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.


Why is gold not suitable to use by itself?

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.


Through which element would someone most likely receive a shock?

Someone would most likely receive a shock through the element of electricity.


What is an element that is shiny is easily pulled into wires or hammered into thin sheets and is a good conductor of electricity and heat?

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.


Would you expect cardboard to conduct electricity?

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.


Which element is most likely to conduct heat and electricity?

Copper is the element that is most likely to conduct heat and electricity due to its high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity properties.
