What are the different categories are the elements put into?

Elements are categorized into metals, non-metals, and metalloids based on their properties such as conductivity, appearance, and reactivity. Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Non-metals are often dull in appearance, brittle, and poor conductors. Metalloids share properties of both metals and non-metals.


What groups of metals on the periodic table would have the most similar properties?

Metals in the same group on the periodic table tend to have similar properties due to their shared number of valence electrons. Thus, metals in groups 1 (alkali metals) and 2 (alkaline earth metals) would have more similar properties compared to metals in different groups.


Classes of elements?

Elements are classified into metals, metalloids, and nonmetals based on their physical and chemical properties. Metals are typically shiny, conduct heat and electricity well, and are malleable. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals. Nonmetals are usually dull in appearance and poor conductors of heat and electricity.


Is arsenic a metal nonmetal or metalloid?

Arsenic is a metalloid, which means it has properties of both metals and nonmetals. It has some characteristics of metals, like being shiny and brittle, but also has nonmetal properties, like being a poor conductor of electricity.


Why does people study metals?

People study metals for many reasons. Metals can be used to build structures and other goods such as cars, furniture and pieces of technology. Metals are also studied for their many properties such as ability to conduct electricity and also for their strength and radioactive properties.

Are the free moving electrons in metals account for many of the properties of metals?

Yes, the free-moving electrons in metals are responsible for many of their properties. These electrons allow metals to conduct electricity and heat, be malleable and ductile, and exhibit luster. The delocalized nature of these electrons also contributes to metals being good conductors of electricity and heat.


What is an element that shares the properties of metals and nonmetals?

An element that has properties of both metals and non-metals is called Metalloid. Example is Germanium.


What is classification for the elements that have properties of both metals and non metals?

Elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals are classified as metalloids. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals, such as being able to conduct electricity but not as effectively as metals. Examples of metalloids include silicon and arsenic.

Why is californium a metal?

Because californium has many physical properties similar to other metals.


How are semi metals related to metals and non metals?

They have properties of metals and non-metals, and also have properties that are around '1/2' of both. An example is silicon, which has a high melting point and is solid (metallic properties). However it is very brittle and it forms an acidic oxide (non-metal). It is a semi-conductor.
