nonmetals
Carbon is not malleable but in some forms can conduct electricity. Gold is malleable and conductive.
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.
Carbon: It doesn't conduct electricity, it isn't malleable, it isn't ductile, it doesn't conduct heat very well.
Generally not.

t that is a malleable, shiny solid, but doesn't conduct heat or electricity
nonmetal
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.
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.
They are a good conductor of heat and electricityThey are often shinyThey are ductilethey are malleableProperties of metals include the fact that they are generally shiny, malleable, and hard.
No, it would be a nonmetal. Metals are usually malleable and do conduct electricity well.
Carbon: It doesn't conduct electricity, it isn't malleable, it isn't ductile, it doesn't conduct heat very well.
