In what physical state do metals exist in their elemental form?

Elements do not change when moving in between the 3 physical states. A physical transition cannot change what the element is, only what state it exists in. A chemical change is where two elements combine together to form a different product than you started with. The only way to change what an element is, is to add or subtract protons.


What is the physical state of element Ca at room temp?

solid


Is lighting a match from a matchbox a physical change?

Yes, lighting a match from a matchbox is a chemical change, not a physical change. When the match is struck, the chemicals on the match head react to produce heat, light, and a flame. This transformation is a chemical reaction, not just a change in physical state.


Why is being flammable a chemical property rather than a physical property?

Physical properties of an element are those in which there is no change in its state. For example, the color and density of an element are physical properties. If an element is flammable, it goes through a reaction and burns, and there is a change in state. When there is a reaction that results in a change of state, Flammability is a chemical property.


Explain how information about an element's physical state at room temperature will help you fill in the partial periodic table?

Knowing an element's physical state at room temperature will help you place it in the correct region of the periodic table under metals, nonmetals, or metalloids categories. For example, if an element is a gas at room temperature, it's likely a nonmetal and should be placed on the right side of the periodic table. Conversely, if it's a solid, it's more likely a metal or metalloid and should be placed on the left or middle of the periodic table.


How do the properties of the transition element compare with those of the alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals?

Transition state metals include a wide variety of metals; they include iron, gold, and Mercury which all have strikingly different properties (hard, soft, and liquid, for example). Nonetheless, a comparison can be made between the transition state metals and the alkali and alkaline earth metals; transition state metals are not as chemically active (some transition state metals are actually inert, such as platinum).


What does roman numeral in parenthesis after the name of the element?

It is the oxidation state of the element, usually positive and used with metals. It can also be used without brackets and in superscript.


Is the state of matter considered a physical property?

The state of matter of a element or compound is linked to its melting and boiling points which are both physical properties. Also if the element/compound is a solid you could say physical properties on the type of structure it would form


Is lead a combination of two or more metals?

Absolutely not; Lead, Pb, is a chemical element, thus it exists in the solid state as just Pb atoms in lead metal.No, lead is an element.


What are metalloids state of matter?

Metalloids can exist in different states of matter, depending on their specific element and conditions. For example, boron is typically a solid, while silicon can be a solid or a liquid under certain conditions. Metalloids exhibit properties of both metals and non-metals, giving them a range of physical states.


This non metal is in the same group as lead?

Lead is a transition state element, and all of the transition state elements are metals; there are no non-metal elements in the transition state.


What are the different forms of an element in the same physical state but different structures and properties?
