26
Q

Properties of metals

A

Good conducted of heat and electricity
Malleable- hammered into thin sheets
Ductile-drawn into wires
Lusteras- shiny

27
Q

Properties of non-metals

A

Not a good conductor of heat and electricity
Most of all the non-metals are gases
When in solid form they are brittle- breaks without bending

28

A

B,Si,Ge,As,Sb,Te
not malleable as metals, not as brittle as non-metals
Semi-conductors , in computer chips

29

A

Are units used all around the works instead of using the metric system and other systems

30
Q

What are 5 SI base units?

A
Length-meters(m)
Mass-grams(g) or kilograms(kg)
Time-seconds(s)
Temperature-Kelvin(k)
Amount of substance-mole(mol)
