Study Notes
Classification of Elements
- Strontium (Sr) is classified as a metal.
- Magnesium (Mg) is also a metal.
- Fluorine (F) is categorized as a non-metal.
- Nitrogen (N) is considered a non-metal.
- Arsenic (As) is classified as a metalloid.
Properties of Metals
- Metals are known for their ability to conduct electricity.
- They exhibit malleability, allowing them to be shaped without breaking.
- Metals are typically not brittle and are solid at room temperature (except mercury).
- Metals do not exist in a gaseous state at room temperature.
