Conceptual PRACTICE 2.1 An element is a shiny, silver-colored solid at room temperature and pressure. It conducts electricity and can be found in nature in its pure form. Classify the element as a metal, nonmetal, or semimetal and specify its general location in the periodic table.

To determine:
If the element is metal, nonmetal or semimetal due to its properties.
Locate the element in periodic table.
Answer to Problem 2.1P
Solution:
This is a metal.
Most metals are present in transition metal group or Families IA and IIA (left of the table).
Explanation of Solution
When classifying elements, there are three main groups to choose from. The metals, which have good heat and electricity conductivities, they are malleable and ductile. Typically, they are very shiny and solids at room temperature.
Since the species is shiny, solid and conducts electricity, this is most likely a metal.
Metals are present on the “left” side of the periodic table. They are present in Groups IA, IIA, and transition metal group.
This is a metal, and it will be placed on the left side of the table.
