Question
Chapter 24, Problem 2QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The two chemical and physical properties that distinguish a metal from a non-metal are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Metals are present on the left side of the periodic table. These are mainly solid at room temperature and are good conductors of electricity and heat.
Non-metals lie on the top right of the periodic table. Non-metals are either solids or gases at room temperature and are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
The elements that show the properties of both metals and non-metals are known as metalloids.
