Malik analyzed three samples to test which element was a metalloid. The table shows his results. A 7-column table with 3 rows. T
he first column titled element has entries A, B, C. The second column titled lustrous has entries yes, no, yes. The third column titled brittle has entries no, yes, yes. The fourth column titled how it reacts has entries base, acid, acid or base. The fifth column titled boiling point (degrees C) has entries not observed, negative 34.04, not observed. The sixth column titled melting point (degrees C) has entries 97.72, not observed, 1413.85. The seventh column titled electrical conductivity has entries high, very low, medium. Which element (A, B, or C) is most likely a metalloid?
Explanation:A is a metal while B is a non metal. This is because when we look at the properties of metals, they are very lustrous and have a high conductivity. On the other hand, non metals are the opposite but metalloids have properties the are inbetween ie, they react with either an acid or base, and have a medium electrical conductivity unlike metals(high) anc non metals(low).
