Concept Introduction:
Metals are elements that have characteristic properties of thermal conductivity, luster, electrical conductivity, and malleability. Except mercury, the physical state of all other metals is solids. They have very high melting points and high density.
Nonmetals are elements that are characterized by the absence of properties like thermal conductivity, luster, electrical conductivity, and malleability. Mostly nonmetals are gases. Only bromine is present as liquid in room temperature. The density of nonmetals is low and they have lower melting points than metals.
Metalloids are elements that possess both metallic and nonmetallic properties.
Element present in the periodic table are represented by a unique name and a chemical symbol. The

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- The present average concentration (mass percent) of magnesium ions in seawater is 0.13%. A chemistry textbook estimates that if 1.00 × 108 tons Mg were taken out of the sea each year, it would take one million years for the Mg concentration to drop to 0.12%. Do sufficient calculations to either verify or refute this statement. Assume that Earth is a sphere with a diameter of 8000 mi, 67% of which is covered by oceans to a depth of 1 mi, and that no Mg is washed back into the oceans at any time.arrow_forwardChlorine exists mainly as two isotopes, 37Cl and 33Cl. Which is more abundant? How do you know?arrow_forwardBoron, atomic number 5, occurs naturally as two isotopes, 10B and 11B, with natural abundances of 19.9% and 80.1%, respectively.
