Solution

A: Is non-malleable, non-ductile and a poor conductor of electricity Non-metallic element.

  • The non-metals are elements on the right of the periodic table.

B: Has lustre, is malleable and ductile and a good conductor of heat Metallic element.

  • Any of several chemical elements that are usually shiny solids that conduct heat or electricity and can be formed into sheets etc are called metals.

C: Is unreactive and inert and present in traces in air Noble gas.

  • Noble gases generally do not react.

D: Shows properties of both metals and non-metals Metalloid.

  • An element (e.g. arsenic, antimony, or tin) whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid non-metals or semiconductors.
