State of most metals at room temperature?
It depends at what temperature. If we talk about room temperature then a natural state of a metal like Mercury is liquid (same as some non-metals like glass) while others like Copper are solid. Of course, in the vacuum of space where there is no influence of heat or sunlight, all metals are solid.
Are all metals in solid state at room temperature?
no. Mercury is a liquid at room temperature under 1 atmosphere. And hydrogen, technically, is also a metal.
What happens to a substances temperature during a phase change?
stays the same
Is a metal and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
How is mercury different from all of the other metals in the periodic table?
It is the only metal element that is in the liquid state at room temperature. Bromine is also in liquid state at room temperature but it is not a metal. Gallium is extremely close to being liquid at room temperature and is a metal.
Why do some metals give a bigger temprature change than others?
It has to do with the the electrons or protrons in a Adam
What kind of metals can be a liquid at room temperature?
Mercury is liquid at room temperature. I don't remember any others.
Why is iron solid at room temperature while others such as oxygen are a gass?
Iron is a metal, and metals are solid at room temperature.
Are there metals in liquid state?
All metals can be made liquid if they reach a high enough temperature. Mercury is the only metal to be liquid at STP and room temperature though; the others require much higher temperatures.
Are there any metals that have different properties than other metals?
Each metal has its own specific set of properties. Some metals are better conductors than others. Some metals have higher melting temperatures than others, there is even a metal that is in a liquid state at room temperature, that metal is called Mercury. Same metals are more malleable than others. They also differ in weights, in density.
Is mercury or lead or nickel or tin liquid at room temperature?
Mercury is the only one of the four metals that's a liquid at room temperature. The others are solids.
Why does some substances freeze faster then others?
They may have lower freezing point, or there may be bigger temperature difference between them and the environment.
A metal that is solid at room temperature?
Most metals are solid at room temperature (20-30C)as room temperature is not enough to provide them required kinetic energy to overcome their forces of attraction or convert its state.thus,they remain solid at room temperature.
Where are the metals and non metals on the periodic table?
metals on left, non-metals on right, some others in middle.
Is metal a liquid?
Generally not, though all metals have melting points. The only pure metal that is liquid at room temperature is mercury. All others are solid.
What are non metals?
They are non mental substances such as Oxygen, Mercury, Xenon, and others. They are poor conductors of heat and electricity, not lustorous (shiny), and are brittle. This description is in general, there are exceptions.
