There are many ways to test and identify metal. The easiest way is observing its color. Also how reflective it is. Other ways would be boiling point, melting point, density, or conductivity of the metal.
Hope This Helps and God Bless!
Elements Y and elements Z would have similar properties due to the fact that they both posses the same number of valence electrons. They both have a single valence electron that determines the corresponding elements bonding properties and the fact that it can either donate 1 valence electron to produce an ion that would be attracted to another atom, that is also an ion. Assuming that these elements are group 1 elements, they do not undergo in covalent bonding.
