Metals • Solid (except for mercury, a liquid) • Shiny/Metallic Luster • Good conductors of thermal energy (heat) & electricity • Malleable- can be hammered into very thin sheets • Ductile- can be drawn into thin wire • High Melting Point
Nonmetals • Gases & Liquids • Dull • Brittle (not malleable) • Poor conductors of thermal energy & electricity • Not Ductile • Low Melting Point
Metalloids • Have properties of both metals & nonmetals EX: shiny & unmalleable • Heat & electricity can travel through metalloids, but not as easilyas they travel through metals (partially conduct electricity)
