Insulators. Their valence electrons are tightly bound because the valence shell is close to full or full. Since each shell can only only hold a certain amount of electrons, the number of electrons depends on which shell is the outer or valence shell.

Is carbon or gold is a malleable and conducts electricity?
Carbon is not malleable but in some forms can conduct electricity. Gold is malleable and conductive.
Do the transition elements display metallic or non metallic properties?
The transition elements are metals. As with all metals, the transition elements are both ductile and malleable, and conduct electricity and heat.
Shiny malleable ductile and generally conduct electricity and heat are qualities of these.?
metals
Minerals that are generally dull not malleable and not ductile and cannot conduct electricity are?
nonmetals
Identify a nonmetal and why is it classified as a nonmetal?
Carbon: It doesn't conduct electricity, it isn't malleable, it isn't ductile, it doesn't conduct heat very well.
What type of elements is platinum?
Platinum is a transition metal. Transition elements are both ductile and malleable, and conduct electricity and heat.
Are most metal elements brittle and don't conduct electricity?
No, it would be a nonmetal. Metals are usually malleable and do conduct electricity well.
Is carbon or gold is a malleable and conducts electricity?
Carbon is not malleable but in some forms can conduct electricity. Gold is malleable and conductive.
What solid does not conduct but is malleable and shiny?
t that is a malleable, shiny solid, but doesn't conduct heat or electricity
What is an element that is not malleable and does not conduct electricity?
nonmetal
What is an element that is malleable and conduct heat and electricity?
The alkali metals, transition metals and metals in group 13, 14, and 15 on the periodic table all are malleable and good conductors of electricityEach of these groups has different characteristics, but all are able to conduct electricity and be formed or shaped easily.
Do the transition elements display metallic or non metallic properties?
