Metals, Nonmetals, Metalloids by DANIEL KIM https://padlet.com/kimdan000/dj9c2nefy76k en-us 2018-04-26 17:03:55 UTC 2025-12-23 17:56:31 UTC hello@padlet.com Metals kimdan000 https://padlet.com/kimdan000/dj9c2nefy76k/wish/255746978 Metals are used for many things such as building outlines and even uses for inside homes such as a stove top. 

Some characteristics of metals are metals are usually solid at room temperature. They have a high luster which means that they're shiny. Metals are mostly ductile, so they can be drawn into wires and they're also malleable so they can be flattened into sheets without breaking. Most importantly, they are great conductors of thermal energy and they are good for letting electricity travel for things like pans and pots.

Some characteristics of nonmetals are that they are not malleable and ductile. They are also very brittle and dull. Instead of being great conductors like how metals are, nonmetals are insulators so they don't allow the thermal energy and electric current to go through. ]]> 2018-04-26 17:27:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kimdan000/dj9c2nefy76k/wish/255757168 Nickel (Metals) kimdan000 https://padlet.com/kimdan000/dj9c2nefy76k/wish/255759178 An element from metals is nickel. Nickel is considered a metal because it has characteristics of a metal such as it ca resist high temperatures, good conductors for toasters and ovens, lustrous, and it is malleable. 

Nickel is useful for people because they are used for cooking such as toasters and ovens. It is also used as a coin that is five cents and people can use it to buy things.

Carbon is useful because carbon makes graphite and graphite is used in pencils, brushes, charcoal, and many other things that people use.

They have some of the characteristics of metal and some for a nonmetal.

Some characteristics of metalloids are that they are semiconductors. Semiconductors means that they carry an electrical charge under certain conditions. Metalloids are useful in computers and calculators. ]]> 2018-04-26 22:35:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kimdan000/dj9c2nefy76k/wish/255849828 Tellurium (Metalloids) kimdan000 https://padlet.com/kimdan000/dj9c2nefy76k/wish/255850307 An element from metalloids is tellurium. Tellurium is metalloid because it is shiny, but it's very brittle and can be smashed into powder. 

Tellurium is useful for people because it is used in alloys and has been used to tint glass and ceramics. People use tellurium for many things and that's why it's useful to people.
