Some properties of metals are: they are good heat conductors, they have a high melting point, they react with oxygen to make oxides, all metals, but Mercury, are solid at room temperatures, they are positive when they form ions, they have a high density.Metals are usually shiny, malleable, and hard. They also are good conductors of electricity.
Semi-metals (or metalloids) are good semiconductors. They have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. They also have ranging reactivity levels.
Alkali metals are very reactive and soft.
Rare earth metals tend to be soft and goldish in color.
No, arsenic is a metalloid, which means it has characteristics of both metals and non-metals.
Metalloids have characteristics of both metals and non-metals. They are located on the staircase of the periodic table. Some examples of metalloids are boron, silicon, arsenic, etc.
what are the characteristics of metals? metals? non-metals?
Non-metals.
The group of elements that share characteristics of metals and non metals is metalloids.
metalaoids have both the characteristics of metals and non metals. ex:-boron,germanyum.
An element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals is a metalloid.
They are malleable.
They are highly- reactive metals
They are highly- reactive metals
