Across
- 2. any of a class of substances characterized by high electrical and thermal conductivity as well as by malleability, ductility, and high reflectivity of light.
- 4. a table of the chemical elements arranged in order of atomic number, usually in rows, so that elements with similar atomic structure (and hence similar chemical properties) appear in vertical columns.
- 8. an element (e.g. arsenic, antimony, or tin) whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid nonmetals or semiconductors.
- 9. a column in the periodic table of the chemical element
- 10. the ability of a material to be drawn or plastically deformed without fracture
Down
- 1. one in which a thin sheet can be easily formed by hammering or rolling
- 3. a chemical element (such as boron, carbon, or nitrogen) that lacks the characteristics of a metal.
- 5. when elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their chemical and physical properties
- 6. the horizontal rows of the periodic table
- 7. a substance that can't be broken down by non-nuclear reactions.
