<span>The chemical elements</span><span> can be broadly divided into </span>metals<span>, </span>metalloids<span> and </span>nonmetals<span> according to their shared </span>physical<span> and </span>chemical properties<span>. All metals have a shiny appearance (at least when freshly polished); are good conductors of heat and electricity; form </span>alloys<span> with other metals; and have at least one </span>basic oxide<span>. Metalloids are metallic-looking brittle solids that are either </span>semiconductors<span> or exist in semiconducting forms, and have </span>amphoteric<span> or weakly </span>acidic oxides<span>. Typical nonmetals have a dull, coloured or colourless appearance; are </span>brittle<span> when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides. Most or some elements in each category share a range of other properties; a few elements have properties that are either anomalous given their category, or otherwise extraordinary.</span>

It is safe to assume that the eastern kingbird will have a <u>type 2 </u><u>functional response </u><u>to an increase in </u><u>prey abundance</u><u>.</u>
The functional response, in ecology, is a data-based description of the behavior of certain animals' consumption rates in response to a change in prey density. This can be of three kinds:
- Type 1: An increase in consumption
- Type 2: A decrease in consumption
- Type 3: Decreased consumption, followed by a quick increase.
The Eastern kingbird is likely to follow a <u>type 1 </u><u>functional response</u> to the presence of more prey. The reason for this, aside from it being the most common response, is that the eastern kingbird consumes insects, which do not provide a great amount of energy, in a way that consumes much energy. Therefore it is logical to assume that the kingbird will consume more prey to better sustain its rigorous feeding habits.
