choose the correct answers

Answer 1

Here are the matches for each property to the correct type of element:

1. Most are gases at room temperature - Nonmetals.

2. Poor conductors of heat and electricity - Nonmetals.

3. Good conductors of heat and electricity - Metals.

4. Most are solids at room temperature - Metals (with the exception of mercury).

5. Ductile, can be drawn into thin wires, and malleable, can be hammered into thin sheets - Metals.

6. Tends to be brittle in solid state. Not ductile or malleable - Nonmetals.

So the correct answers are:

• Nonmetals: 1, 2, 6
• Metals: 3, 4, 5
