2nd SW #2 Metals etc. test

1. Which elements are shiny?
metals only
metals and nonmetals
 nonmetals only
metals and some of the metalloids
2. Which elements are to the right of the zig zag 
(staircase) area on the periodic table?
 metals
metalloids
nonmetals
3. Sulfur is considered:
 malleable
brittle
ductile
a good conductor
4. How did you find out if an element is a good conductor?
turned black
hit it with a hammer
bubbled in the presence of acid
 it lit up a light bulb
5. Ductile means.....
can be made into wire
can be bent or hammered
 can light up a light bulb
it's shiny
6. Copper can be used to make statues like the 
     statue of liberty.....
therefore copper is shiny
therefore copper is ductile
therefore copper is a conductor
therefore copper is malleable
7.  Which of these was NOT a conductor?
Lead
Zinc
Sulfur
 Aluminum
8. Substances that can be hammered into thin sheets are:
metalloids
both metals and nonmetals
nonmetals
metals
9. Which area has the most elements to the left of the 
zig zag staircase area of the periodic table?
metals
metalloids
nonmetals
10. Which of the following is a physical characteristicof a metal?
insulator
malleable
brittle
semi-conductor
11. Which of the following is a physical characteristicof a nonmetal?
malleable
conductor
luster
can be brittle
12. Which of the following is a physical characteristicof a metalloid?
 ductile
malleable
semi conductor
magnetic
13. A student is examining the physical properties of a sample. The sample is malleable, it does conductelectricity but does not have luster. This sample would be a 
metal
 metalloid
nonmetal
14. An element has properties of BOTH metals andnonmetals. Where would it be found on the periodic table?
to the right of the zig zag line
 On the zig zag line
to the left of the zig zag line
15. If a student observes a dull solid that is malleable, good conductor, and ductile it is a .....
nonmetal
metalloid
 metal
Incorrect option
16. What does luster mean?
breaks into pieces
can be hammered into thin sheets
no shine
reflects light, shiny
17. What does brittle mean?
breaks into pieces
can be hammered into thin sheets
 reflects light, shiny
no shine
18. Elements that are metals can best be described as...
malleable
dull
 brittle
poor conductors
