Is usually a gas or brittle solid that is a poor conductor of electricity?
metalloid
Is sulfur brittle in its solid phase and a poor conductor of heat and electricity?
Yes, it is true.
Which property is associated with metals dull shiny brittle or poor conductor of electricity?
They are shiny!
How can an elements proprties by identified?
well it is either metal, nonmetal, metalloids. a metal is shiny, conducts heat well, conducts electricity well and malleable. non metal is dull, poor conductor of heat, poor conductor of electricity, and brittle. metalloids has some shine, somewhat malleable, semi- conductor of heat, semi-conductor of electricity.
What is meant by malleable brittle state conductor of heat and lustre when it comes to elements?
These are the properties of metals. Malleable means the element can be made into thin sheets. Brittle means it can easily break under pressure like glass. Lusture means the element is shiny. It will conduct heat and electricity probably good.

Yes, it is true.
Element that is usually a gas or brittle solid at room temperature and is a poor conductor of heat and electricity?
Element that is usually a gas or brittle solid at room temperature and is a poor conductor of heat and electricity are non metals. A metal is an element that has luster, is a good conductor of heat and electricity, is malleable, and is ductile
What properties do all metalloids have in common?
Metalloids are brittle and bad conductors of electricity.

What does non-metal mean?
A nonmetal is an element that tends to be dull, brittle, and a poor conductor of heat and electricity.
What are nonmetals?
Non-metals are dull, brittle elements that do not conduct electricity.
What properties do all nonmetals have in common?
Non-metals generally are not good conductors of heat or electricity, have a dull surface, are brittle to the touch, and are not easily molded into shapes.

What are the properties of a ionic compound?
They are hard and brittle, conduct electricity in water, and have high melting and boiling points. (:
Is ductile a conductor?
Ductile means that it can hammered thin or made into a wire. That pretty much excludes the possibility of being brittle. However, conducting heat or electricity is entirely different. It just so happens that metals are often ductile and the often conduct heat and electricity, but other materials are not ductile that do conduct electricity, and many of them are brittle. The physical properties (being ductile or brittle) do not necessarily determine the chemical properties (being conductive).
