Answer:
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, and are malleable (they can be hammered into sheets) and ductile (they can be drawn into wire). Most of the metals are solids at room temperature, with a characteristic silvery shine (except for mercury, which is a liquid). Nonmetals are (usually) poor conductors of heat and electricity, and are not malleable or ductile; many of the elemental nonmetals are gases at room temperature, while others are liquids and others are solids.

Answer:
The isotope with the greatest number of protons is:
- <u>option D: Pu-239, with 94 protons</u>
Explanation:
The number of <em>protons</em> is the atomic number and is a unique number for each type of element.
You can tell the number of protons searching the element in a periodic table and reading its atomic number.
Thus, this is how you tell the number of protons or each isotope
Sample Chemical symbol Element atomic number # of protons
A Pa-238 Pa protactinium 91 91
B U-240 U uranium 92 92
C Np-238 Np neptunium 93 93
D Pu-239 Pu plutonium 94 94
