conductors19. To the left of the zig-zag line20. To the right of the zig zag line

Round 521. Where are metalloids located on the periodic

table? 22. Look at the periodic table. What two elements in

the same group as carbon are metalloids? 23. Are there more metals, metalloids, or nonmetals

in the periodic table? 24. What does it mean that elements have

“characteristic properties”?

25. What is special about the noble gases?

Round 521. On or bordering the zig zag line22. Silicon, germanium23. Metals24.Elements can be identified by their

properties25. They have a full valence shell so they do

not generally bond with other elements
