Answer:
<u>Metalloid -</u>
A metalloid is a chemical element with properties intermediate between those of typical metals and nonmetals
<u>Alloy</u> -
An alloy is a mixture of metals or a mixture of a metal and another element. Alloys are defined by a metallic bonding character.

Explanation:
There is an evident reason why some of the solutions Carson's has listed and observed, does conduct electricity and some that do.
A flow of electrical charge is called an electric current. Ions are atoms, or sets of atoms, that contain an electrical charge. There are two types of ions, cation or a positively charged ion containing a deficiency of electrons, and anion or a negatively charged ion which contains a surplus of electrons. When a solution conducts electricity the charge is carried within by ions that move through the solution. The larger the number of ions in the solution, the better the conductivity of the solution is. Pure water does not conduct very well because it contains very few ions, but when table salt (NaCl) is dissolved in the water, this solution does conduct well because the solution contains a more abundance of ions. The majority of the ions come from the table salt, chemically names sodium chloride. Because Sodium contains its sodium ions, and these are positive charge and chloride ions which is a negative charge, it is called an ionic substance. Not every substance is made up of ions, one such example is sugar (C12H22O11). Sugar is made up of uncharged particles also called molecules. Although sugar is a substance its molecules do not hold a charge, thus when sugar is dissolved in water, the solution does not conduct electricity, due to the lack of ions in the solution.
Therefore, depending on the ions that make up the compound, the substance would or would not conduct electricity.

Explanation:
The question is incomplete because the images of the models are absent. However, i will try to give you a general description of what the correct answer should be.
Beryllium is a member of group 2 in the periodic table. Beryllium has an atomic number of 4. This implies that it has four protons in its nucleus and four electrons in its shells. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons on the shells is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus.
The electronic configuration of Beryllium is 1s2 2s2. This implies that it should have two shells each containing only two electrons each.
Since we are using white foam balls for protons and black foam balls for neutrons, the clear plastic will contain four white foam balls and five black foam balls since the mass number of beryllium is 9 and number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons.
Four blue foam balls hanging from strings will represent the electrons around the nucleus.
Any model that corresponds to the description above is the correct answer.
