Characteristics of Metals • * They are good conductors of heat and electricity • * They are ductile (can be drawn into a wire) • * They are shiny • * They are Malleable (can be hammered into different shapes) • * High Density (Heavy for their size)
Characteristics of Nonmetals • * Poor conductors of heat and electricity • * Dull (not shiny) • * Brittle (break or shatter easily)
Characteristics of Metalloids • * Most are good conductors of heat and electricity, but not as good as metals • * Divide the metals from the nonmetals because they have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals
