Question

which statement about metals and nonmetals is correct? (1 point) most metals are a solid under normal conditions, and most nonmetals are a liquid. metals can be hammered into thin sheets, and nonmetals are brittle. metals tend to be poor conductors of electricity, while nonmetals are strong conductors of electricity. metals and nonmetals can both be found in any column of the periodic table.

Explanation:

Metals have properties like malleability (can be hammered into thin - sheets), and are generally good conductors of electricity. Non - metals are often brittle and poor conductors. Metals are mostly solids at room temperature, while non - metals can be solids, liquids, or gases. Metals and non - metals are located in different areas of the periodic table.

Answer:

Metals can be hammered into thin sheets, and nonmetals are brittle.
