  2. Nonmetal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonmetal

    liquids (mercury, bromine) are either metallic or nonmetallic: mercury, as a good conductor, is a metal; bromine, with its poor conductivity, is a nonmetal; solids are either ductile and malleable, hard and brittle, or soft and crumbly: a. ductile and malleable elements are metals;

  3. Nonmetallic material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonmetallic_material

    These definitions are equivalent to stating that metals conduct electricity at absolute zero, as suggested by Nevill Francis Mott, [2]: 257 and the equivalent definition at other temperatures is also commonly used as in textbooks such as Chemistry of the Non-Metals by Ralf Steudel [3] and work on metal–insulator transitions. [4] [5]

  4. Properties of metals, metalloids and nonmetals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_metals...

    The most stable form is the black allotrope, which is a metallic looking, brittle and relatively non-reactive semiconductor (unlike the white allotrope, which has a white or yellowish appearance, is pliable, highly reactive and a semiconductor). When assessing periodicity in the physical properties of the elements it needs to be borne in mind ...

  5. List of materials properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_materials_properties

    A material property is an intensive property of a material, i.e., a physical property or chemical property that does not depend on the amount of the material. These quantitative properties may be used as a metric by which the benefits of one material versus another can be compared, thereby aiding in materials selection.

  6. Non-metallic inclusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-metallic_inclusions

    Non-metallic inclusions that arise because of different reactions during metal production are called natural or indigenous. They include oxides , sulfides , nitrides and phosphides . Apart from natural inclusions there are also parts of slag , refractories , material of a casting mould (the material the metal contacts during production) in the ...

  7. Periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

    The periodic table, also known as the periodic table of the elements, is an ordered arrangement of the chemical elements into rows ("periods") and columns ("groups"). It is an icon of chemistry and is widely used in physics and other sciences.

  8. Properties of nonmetals (and metalloids) by group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_nonmetals...

    Metal bromides are largely ionic in nature. The unstable common oxide of bromine (Br 2 O 5) is strongly acidic. Iodine crystals. Iodine, the rarest of the nonmetallic halogens, is a metallic looking solid that is moderately reactive, and has a density of 4.933 g/cm 3. It melts at 113.7 °C to a brown liquid and boils at 184.3 °C to a violet ...

  9. Periodic trends - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_trends

    Metallic and non-metallic properties [ edit ] Metallic properties generally increase down the groups , as decreasing attraction between the nuclei and outermost electrons causes these electrons to be more loosely bound and thus able to conduct heat and electricity .
