What else can I help you with?
Can an element be both metal and non-metal?
no, but there are metalloids, which have properties of both metals and non metals
Is a iron nail inorganic?
All organic compounds contain Carbon element. Iron nail contain some carbon but as a free element and such,so nail is called as made of metal and is inorganic.
What element behaves partly as an alkaline metal as well as a halogen element?
In some specific circumstances, hydrogen can behave partly as an alkaline metal as well as a halogen element. This is due to the similarity of the two groups.
What are some common compounds of aluminum?
Aluminum is an element (pure metal), not a compound.
What is a simple definition of 'alloy'?
An alloy is a blend of 2 or more metals. For example, brass is an alloy of zinc and copper, because you blend zinc and copper to get brass. The properties of any metal can be changed by mixing other substances with it, this mixture is called an alloy. Another definition would be: "An alloy is an element added to another element to change its characteristics." Almost all metals are alloyed. Some with multiple elements.
What is an element that characteristics of a metal and some characteristics of a nonmetal?
Elements that have some characteristics of a metal and some characteristics of a nonmetal are called semimetals or metalloids.
What is an element that has some characteristics of a metal and some characteristics of an nonmetal?
Elements that have some characteristics of a metal and some characteristics of a nonmetal are called semimetals or metalloids.
What is an element that has some characteristics of metal and some characteristics of a nonmetal?
Elements that have some characteristics of a metal and some characteristics of a nonmetal are called semimetals or metalloids.
What is an element that has some characterists of a metal and some characteristics of a nonmetal?
Elements that have some characteristics of a metal and some characteristics of a nonmetal are called semimetals or metalloids.
Is hydrogen consisdered to be a metal?
No, hydrogen is considered to be strictly a non-metal. Although it can be considered as a group 1 element due to some of its characteristics.
Is the metal classified as chemical or physical?
it is physical because when the metal melts it is still metal. it doesn't change to a new subtance.--------------------------------------A metal is a chemical element, not a property; but in some situations chemist use the expression metallic characteristics (or properties).
What is a metal with more than 1 metallic element called?
These are called alloys. Some alloys have a specific name such as steel.
Can an element be both metal and non-metal?
no, but there are metalloids, which have properties of both metals and non metals
Is germanium the element a metal or nonmetal?
Germanium is a metalloid, which is an element that shares properties of both metals and nonmetals. It has characteristics of both categories, such as being a semiconductor like a nonmetal but also having metallic luster.
Is metal a element?
Metals are a class of elements. A pure metal is an element. Some metals are alloys, which mean they have more than one metal or element in them. The metal bronze is made of two elements, the metal tin and the metal copper.
What are some Characteristics of a paper clip?
It is metal.
What is an element that has some characteristics of metals and non-metals?
Metalloids, such as silicon and arsenic, have properties that are intermediate between metals and non-metals. They can exhibit characteristics of both groups, such as semi-conducting properties and varying degrees of metallic and non-metallic behavior.
