The correct statement is:
**Metals can be hammered into sheets and nonmetals are brittle and will fracture when struck.**
This statement accurately describes the physical properties of metals and nonmetals. Metals are malleable, meaning they can be shaped, while nonmetals tend to be brittle in solid form. The other statements contain inaccuracies regarding the locations of metals and nonmetals on the periodic table, the states of matter of nonmetals, and conductivity.
