Question

11 use the periodic table. match each statement with the proper classification. statement metals nonmetals contains many solids conducts electricity in the solid state tends to gain electrons and form negative ions aluminum argon

Explanation:

1. Both metals and non - metals have many solids. But metals are more commonly known for being solid at room temperature.
2. Metals are good conductors of electricity in the solid state due to the presence of free - moving electrons.
3. Nonmetals tend to gain electrons and form negative ions as they have a high electronegativity.
4. Aluminum is a metal, known for its metallic properties like conductivity and malleability.
5. Argon is a nonmetal, a noble gas which is chemically inert.

Answer:

contains many solids: Metals
conducts electricity in the solid state: Metals
tends to gain electrons and form negative ions: Nonmetals
aluminum: Metals
argon: Nonmetals
