The answer is Gas i would say
Assuming the plumbing pipe is PVC, the answer would be nonmetal
PVC or polyvinyl chloride has a chemical formula of (C2H3Cl)n. From the element, we can see that the polyvinyl chloride is made from carbon, hydrogen, and chloride. There are no elements that belong to the metal group or metalloid group, so the plumbing pipe would be nonmetal.
Answer:
Maybe I know too much chemistry but how the metals (and the non-metals) react depends on where they are in the Periodic Table. The metals in groups I and II over on the far left side are explosively reactive and loose electrons and form ionic bonds. Examples: Na+1 has lost 1 electron and Li+2 has lost 2 electrons. The metals in the higher groups are more confusing but most of them share outer shell electrons and form covalent bonds. Examples: Fe2O3 (rust) where Iron shares 2X3 electrons with Oxygen which shares 3X2 electrons. Confused enough? :-)
The answer you'll be expected to give depends on the subject of the chapter you're studying. If you're studying covalent bonds, then the answer will probably be "form covalent bonds". If you're studying ionic bonds, then the answer will be "lose electrons".
