1. Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids (Vocabulary)

2. Luster How the surface of a substance reflects light. Examples Shiney
Dull
Metalic
Waxy

3. Malleability
ability to be formed or shaped under pressure (e.g., metals hammered or rolled into thin sheets).
Examples
Flattened penny
Aluminum can
Tin foil
Aluminum foil

4. Conductivity
How well it allows heat or electricity to pass through it.

5. Ductility
Can be stretched into wire without breaking.

6. Metals
Elements which have physical properties such as good conductivity, shiny luster, malleability and ductility.

7. Nonmetals
Elements which have physical properties such as no conductivity (an insulator), dull luster, and brittleness (will break).

8. Metalloids
Elements which can have both properties of metals and nonmetals.
Also may be called a semi-conductor.

9. Density Formula
D = mass / volume
(i density)

10. Volume Formula
V = L x W x H

11. Water Displacement
A method used to calculate the volume of an irregular shaped object.
