Long Metalcore/Heavy Metal/Gothic Metal Songs?
Common properties considered characteristic of a nonmetal include: Poor conductors of heat and electricity when compared to metals They form acidic oxides (whereas metals generally form basic oxides) In solid form, they are dull and brittle, rather than metals which are Lustrous, ductile or malleable Usually have lower densities than metals They have significantly lower melting points and boiling points than metals Common properties of metals Shiny 'metallic' appearance Solids at room temperature (except mercury) High melting points High densities Large atomic radii Low ionization energies Low electronegativities Usually, high deformation Malleable Ductile Thermal conductors Electrical conductors Common properties of metalloids Metalloids share characteristics of both metals and non-metals and are also called semimetals. Metalloids are typically semi-conductors, which means that they both insulate and conduct electricity. This semi-conducting property makes Metalloids very useful as a computer chip material. Examples of metalloid elements are Silicon and Boron.
