Metals are malleable, which means **they can be hammered into thin sheets**. Malleability refers to the ability of a material, particularly metals, to deform under compressive stress without breaking, allowing them to be shaped into sheets.

Metals are ductile, which means **they can be stretched into a long, thin wire**. Ductility refers to the ability of a material to be drawn out into a wire without breaking.

Most metals tend to be **solid** at room temperature, with the notable exception of mercury, which is a liquid.

**False.** While many nonmetals are dull in appearance, not all nonmetals are. For example, iodine is a nonmetal that can have a shiny appearance in its solid form. Nonmetals can vary in appearance, including being shiny, but they generally do not have the metallic luster characteristic of metals.

Nonmetals are **to the right of the staircase line** (also known as the "zig-zag" line) on the periodic table. This line separates metals (to the left) from nonmetals (to the right).
Answered by GPT-4o mini
Nonmetals are mostly **gases** at room temperature. While there are nonmetals that are solids (such as carbon and sulfur) and one liquid (bromine), the majority of nonmetals (such as nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen) are gases.
