properties of metals, metalloids and non metals

Thermal conduction- metals

good conductors

electrical conduction- metals

good conductors

electrical conduction- metals 2

conduction decreases with a rise in temperature

lustre- metals

shiny, mainly grey

malleability- metals

can be bent and beaten into different shapes without breaking

ductility- metals

con be stretched into long, thin wires

density at room temperature- metals

higher densities than metalliods. alkali metals and alkali earth metals have relatively low densities

melting points- metals

higher than metalliods but with a large rangle, tungsten has the highest melting point of any element

thermal conduction- metalloids

better conductors than nonmetals but not as good as metals

thermal conduction- nonmetals

poor conductors( insulators) except carbon in the form of diamonds

electrical conduction- metalloids

poor conductors, conduction imroves with a rise in temperature

electrical conduction- nonmetals

insulators, do not conduct electricity, except for carbon in the form of graphite

lustre-metalloids

looks like metals

lustre- nonmetals

dull surface, different colours

malleability- metalloids

brittle

malleability- nonmetals

brittle 1

ductility- metalloids

brittle 2

ductility- nonmetals

brittle 3

density at room temperature- metalliods

higher densities than nonmetals

density at room temperature- nonmetals

low densities, most are gas at room temperature

melting point- metalloids

higher than nonmetals, all are solids at room temperature

melting point- nonmetals

lower than metalloids, most are gases at room temperature. Idamind has a higher melting point than most metals
