You are going to test three different elements and determine if they are metals, non-metals, or metalloids. You have the following things to use.
Your own eyes and hands
A small hammer you can use to try and break the element
A conductivity meter
What properties will you be able to test with these things?
Write the procedure we develop together in class here?
Describe how each sample #1 looks
Describe how each sample #2 looks
Describe how each sample #3 looks
What happened when you used the conductivity meter on sample #1?
What happened when you used the conductivity meter on sample #2?
What happened when you used the conductivity meter on sample #3?
What happened when you hit it sample # 1 with the hammer?
What happened when you hit it sample # 2 with the hammer?
What happened when you hit it sample # 3 with the hammer?
