Chapter 2, Problem 68P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Which is more likely to conduct electricity and heat: metal or non-metal should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Elements can be classified into three categories based on their properties; that is metal, non-metal and metalloids. Metals are solid at room temperature, shiny conductors of electricity and heat, ductile and malleable. In chemical reaction, metals tend to give up electrons.

Non-metal do not conduct heat and electricity, most of the non-metals are gas at room temperature. Non-metal accept electrons at in chemical reactions.

On the other hand, metalloids have some of the properties of metal and some of the non-metals.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Which is more likely to accept electrons: metal or non-metal is to be stated.
