Question
An element is sonorous and highly ductile. Under which category would you classify this element? What other characteristics do you expect the element to possess?
✓

Answer

As the given element is sonorous and highly ductile, therefore, it is categorised as a metal. Some other e pected characteristics of are:
  1. It should possesses metallic lustre and can be polished.
  2. It should be good conductors of heat and electricity.
  3. It should be ductile.
  4. It should be malleable.
  5. It should has high tensile strength.
  6. It should has high densities and melting point/boiling point too.
  7. It should be hard (except sodium and potassium which are soft metals).
  8. It should be solid at room temperature (except mercury, which is liquid at room temperature).
While the characteristics of non-metals are:
  1. Non-metals are neither malleable nor ductile and do not conduct electricity.
  2. Metalloids show some properties of metals and some other properties of non-metals.

There are three substances X, Y and Z. The substance X does not have a fixed melting point or boiling point and it still shows the individual properties of its constituents. The substance Y is a pure substance which occurs in nature as such. The substance Y has a fixed melting point and boiling point but it cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical means. The substance Z is also a pure substance whose properties are entirely different from those of its constituents. The substance Z can, however, be divided by electrolysis into two substances which belong to the same class of substances as Y.
  1. What type of substance could X be? Name one substance like X.
  2. What type of substance could Y be? Name one substance like Y.
  3. What type of substance could Z be? Name one substance like Z.
  4. Whish process involves absorption or release of an appreciable amount of energy: formation of substance X or formation of substance Z?
  5. Name the three groups into which all the substances like Y are divided on the basis of their properties.
