Question
Chapter 7, Problem 6QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The chemical and physical properties of metals and nonmetals are to be compared.
Concept introduction:
Metals and nonmetals are distinguished on the basis of chemical and physical and properties. Metals and nonmetals differ in their appearance, texture,
Metals tend to be shiny, hard, lustrous, malleable, ductile, opaque, dense, and very good conductors of electricity.
Nonmetals are non-shiny, soft, dull, transparent, brittleand are not good conductors.

Explain your reasoning by addressing each piece of evidence given. a. Element “X” is not a gas at room temperature and is best described as a metal in its only allotrope (elemental form). b. When element “X” forms a cation, its atomic radius is smaller than that of neon (Ne) however, it is notable that element “X” does not form anions as partners in ionic compounds. c. The 1st ionization energy of element “X” is greater than that of atomic aluminum (Al). d. When element “X” is degraded in the presence of hydrogen chloride (HCl), a reaction ensues leaving an amorphous colorless substance.
