Question

The properties of _________ are ductility and mallebility.
__________ are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
__________ has intermediate properties.

• A. metals, non-metals, metalloids
• B. non-metals, metalloids, metals
• C. metals, metalloids, non-metals
• D. non-metals, metals, metalloids

Answer 1

The correct option is A

metals, non-metals, metalloids

Properties of metals: They are ductile (can be drawn into wires), malleable (can be beaten into sheets) and shiny in appearance. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Properties of non-metals: They are brittle (they break or shatter when hammered) in nature. Non-metals are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Metalloids: It is an element that has properties between metals and nonmetals.
