characteristics of nonmetals. If something is malleable, it is usually ductile and also

has high tensile strength too. Put those in the appropriate column too.

25. Find the red “Stair-case” line on your periodic table. The elements to the left of this

line and below it are metals (except Hydrogen). Are most of these elements, solid,

liquid or gas at room temperature?

26. The elements to the right and above the staircase (and Hydrogen) are nonmetals.

What state are these in at room temperature?

27. The elements touching the red staircase line are metalloids. They have properties in

between those of nonmetals and metals.

a. List those elements below.

b. List some properties of metalloids.

c. What state are these elements in at room temperature?

28. The Noble Gases are a category of nonmetals that are very unreactive. They include

all the elements in the far right column of the periodic table.

a. List the elements in this category.

b. What group are these elements in?

c. Would these elements be good conductors?

d. What state are these elements in at room temperature?

29. Fill in the missing information in the table below:
