Solid metals are often shiny, ductile(can be pulled into wires), malleable(can be hammered into thin sheets), and good condutors of heat and electricity.

Are all solid elements metals?

No, not all solid elements are metals. There are three main types of elements: metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. While metals make up the majority of the periodic table, there are also nonmetals and metalloids which have different properties and characteristics.


What do phase diagrams describe for a particular substance?

Phase diagrams describe the relationship between temperature, pressure, and the phase of a substance (solid, liquid, gas). They show the conditions under which a substance exists in different phases or transitions between phases.

What are some Malleable substance?

Malleable substances can be hammered into a thin sheet. This is a characteristic of all metals in the solid phase. In contrast nonmetals are brittle in the solid phase. If you take a piece of sulfur and whack it with a hammer a few times you will turn it into sulfur powder not a thin sheet of sulfur.

What nonmetals in the solid state are poor conductors of heat tend to?

Nonmetals in the solid state tend to be brittle and poor conductors of heat.


Do nonmetals crack?

Yes, in solid form nonmetals tend to be brittle, however, several nonmetals are gasses and one, bromine, is a liquid.


Are nonmetals solid at room temperature?

Not necessarily. Nonmetals can exist in different states of matter at room temperature, including solid, liquid, or gas, depending on their specific properties. Examples of nonmetals that are solid at room temperature include sulfur and carbon in the form of graphite.


How do solid nonmetals differ from solid metals?

Solid nonmetals typically have lower melting points and boiling points compared to solid metals. Nonmetals tend to be brittle in their solid state, while metals are malleable and ductile. Additionally, nonmetals are usually poor conductors of heat and electricity, whereas metals are good conductors.
