Question

match the descriptions below to either metal or nonmetal. good conductors of heat and electricity. found on the left side of the periodic table. solids are usually brittle. malleable and lustrous. tend to form anions. metals nonmetals

Explanation:

• "Good conductors of heat and electricity" → Metals (metals have free electrons for conduction).
• "Found on the left side of the Periodic Table" → Metals (periodic table's left is metal - dominated).
• "Solids are usually brittle" → Nonmetals (nonmetals are brittle in solid form).
• "Malleable and lustrous" → Metals (metals are malleable and shiny).
• "Tend to form anions" → Nonmetals (nonmetals gain electrons to form anions).

Answer:

• Good conductors of heat and electricity: metals
• Found on the left side of the Periodic Table: metals
• Solids are usually brittle: nonmetals
• Malleable and lustrous: metals
• Tend to form anions: nonmetals
