After reading the information on page 57 in the textbook, and filling in the chart entitled "Three Major Categories of Elements", construct a paragraph that describes metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.

After reading page 57 of my Science text book, I learned the following information.

Glow- You did a good job on these paragraphs.

I love how you included what you learned. I think you could make this one paragraph and make it easier to compare and contrast. I also loved your opening and closing.

Metals,Nonmetals and Metalloids are the three major categories of elements . Metals are shiny and are very good conducters of electricity and thermal heat . Metals are Malleables they can be hammered into thin sheets like Metalloids . But unlike Metals and Metalloids , Nonmetals are elements that are dull not shiny . They are very poor conducters of electricity and thermal heat and cannot be hammered into thin sheets . So not all elements Compare .

These are Compare and Contrasts of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are lustrous and malleable, while also good conductors of heat and electricity. While on the other hand nonmetals are completely the opposite, nonmetals are not lustrous or malleable and not good conductors of electricity. Metalloids are in between because they are made up of both nonmetals and metals. Some metalloids are good heat conductors and electricity, while others are not. Some metalloids are lustrous and malleable while others are not. These are compare and contrasts of Metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.

I thought your post was really greatly worded Orion awesome post.

I liked the way that you compared and contrasted the three different items. I think you should have a better conclusion. Also you have very good vocabulary.

Three Major Categories of Elements: Metal is something that you can make shapes, something that you can use for electricity.

Metals, metalloids, and nonmetals are different, and similar. Well, the metals and nonmetals are not the same because metals are shiny and nonmetals aren't. Metals are good conductors of electricity, nonmetals are not. Metals conduct heat, nonmetals don't conduct heat. Metals can be hammered into thin sheets, nonmetals can not. But there is something that brings them ogether, metalloids. Metalloids are always both. Some metalloids are shiny, some are dull. Some are good conductors of electricity, some are not. Some conduct heat, some don't. Some of them can be hammered into thin sheets, some can't. As you see, they are alike and different. Metals and nonmetals are not alike but metalloids are both of them.

I really like how you compared one thing at a time. I think you maybe could of made the conclusion be a little bit more similar to the topic sentence.

How are metals nonmetals and metalloids different and similar?

I think you really got in all the details. Though I think for metalloids you should have condensed that part a little, but overall Great Job!

There are 3 major categories of elements, metals, nonmetals and metalloids. Even though they seem very similar, they have some differences. Metals can be shiny and strong conductors of of electric currents and thermal heat, also they are malleable (which means they can be hammered into thin sheets.) Where as nonmetals can be dull and poor conductors of electric currents and thermal heat. Unlike the metals, they are not malleable. Now metalloids are like a mix of both metals and nonmetals.They are both shiny and dull, and some metalloids can be great at conducting electric currents and thermal heat, where as other metalloids can be poor conductors of electric currents and thermal heat. Metalloids are somewhat malleable so yet again like a mix of metals and nonmetals. In conclusion, the 3 major categories of elements, metals, nonmetals and metalloids, are both similar and different.

Metals are the most good at conducting and metaliods are the econd best at conducting and non metals are not goood for cunducting anything.

Here's a little about metals! Metals are shiny, metals are good for conductors of electricity, metals do conduct heat, metals can be hammered in to thin sheets.

Metalloids, nonmetals, and metals are the 3 major categories of elements. Nonmetals are dull while metals are the opposite of them which is shiny. Metalloids are both shiny and dull because some of the things that are called metalloids are shiny while others are dull. Metals are the ones that can conduct electricity and heat really well and the nonmetals are different because they conduct electricity and heat poorly. Metalloids are again both a good conductor of heat and electricity and poor conductors of those things. Metals can be hammered into thin sheets but nonmetals can't. Metalloids have the characteristics of both nonmetals and metals of the conductors some are good conductors while others aren't. This shows that metals and nonmetals are different but metalloids have the some same things as both nonmetals and metals have.

Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids are all different from each other, but they do have some similarities. Metals and Metalloids are both good conductors of electrical and thermal energy. Both are also malleable, which means their shape can be changed. Nonmetals on the other hand, are brittle and are not malleable. Nonmetals are also poor conductors of electrical and thermal energy. Those are the main similarities and differences of Metals, Nonmetals and Metalloids.

Metals,Nonmetals,and Metalloids are all the top three major elements of matter.

The three major categories elements are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are elements that are shiny and are really good conductors. Nonmetals are elements trhat are very dull and are poor conductors. Metalloids are both metals and nonmetals which is also called semiconductors which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.

From comparing the information on page 57 metals, metalloids, and nonmetals they have some things in common. Metals are very good conductors of electricity and heat unlike the nonmetals which don't.

There are Compare and Contrast of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are shiny and they are good conductors of electricity and heat. Metals are also malleable. Nonmetals are elements that are dull (not shiny) and that that are poor conductors of thermal energy and electricity Metalloids are shiny while others are dull. Some metalloids conduct thermal energy and electricity. These are compare and contrast of metalloids, metals, and nonmetals.

There are three major categories of elements, but did you know that they are alike and different in many ways. Metals are shiny but as for nonmetals they are dull. Metalloids are a mix of both metals and nonmetals so the metalloids are mixed, some are dull while others are shiny. Metals conduct electricity while nonmetals don't. Metalloids have a mix some do conduct electricity and some don't. Metals conduct heat, nonmetals are a very poor conductor, metalloids have some that do conduct thermal energy and some don't. Metals are easy to be hammered into thin sheets, but nonmetals are brittle and non malleable, metalloids are somewhat malleable. As you can see these three categories are alike and different.

Metals and some metalloids are shiny unlike nonmetals that dull. Metals are good electricity conductors nonmetals are not and only some metalloids are good. Some metalloids are good heat conductors nonmetals are not and metals are. Nonmetals are not malleable metals are and metalloids are somewhat malleable. Metals, nonmetals, and metalloids may sound similar but in reality metals and nonmetals are opposites, and metalloids are the two things combined. For example, metals are shiny, nonmetals are dull, and metalloids have some that are shiny and some that are dull. Another example is that metals are good conductors of heat and electrical currents, nonmetals are poor conductors of heat and electrical currents, and only some metalloids are good conductors of heat and electrical currents. My final example is that metals are malleable, nonmetals are not malleable, and metalloids are somewhat malleable. Now you know that metals and nonmetals are opposite, while metalloids are these two things combined even though the names all sound similar.

There are three major categories of elements. Did you know that metals are shiny, there also good conductors. If you didn't know already that metals also conduct heat too, even better than they can be hammered onto thin sheets like paper isn't that cool too ! Now moving on to non-metals! So non-metals are NOT dull They are also very poor conductors, they also have poor thermal energy too also one more thing about non-metals they also cant be hammered into thin sheets like paper. Last but not least they are both shiny and dull isn't that cool there also some metals conduct energy and electric current. Comments are closed.
