C. Groups 13-16 contain metalloids.
If you look on a periodic table, these usually have a different color.
4. <span>The metals that would be able to reduce copper ions in solution would be hydrogen(H), lead(Pb), tin(Sb), nickel(Ni), iron(Fe), zinc(Zn), aluminum(Al), Magnesium(Mg), sodium(Na), calcium(Ca), potassium(K), and lithium(Li).
5. </span>If you had a house with both copper- and zinc-galvanized iron water pipes,zinc would be desirable because <span>A metal that is easily oxidized would rust more readily.</span><span>
