A mystery element is solid at room temperature. When dropped, it broke very easily. When put into a circuit, it did not conduct electricity. When held over a flame, it did not become warm. What type of an element (metal, nonmetal, or metalloid) is it likely to be? Explain your reasoning. Include the properties of that type of element in your explanation

Respuesta :

A mystery element is non-metal because non-metal can't conduct electricity.

Why a mystery element is non-metal?

We know that metalloids have some physical properties of metals and some of non-metals. They have the ability to conduct heat and electricity and they are shiny like metals but brittle like nonmetals so we can conclude that a mystery element is non-metal because non-metal can't conduct electricity.
