Describe how the properties of the different types of elements (metals, nonmetals, metalloids) differ. (Make sure to use your own words.) Explain what characteristics of metalloids are more like metals and which are more like nonmetals based on the research you conducted and the information recorded in Data Table 1.) Define the term "transition." How does this definition apply to the transition metals? (Make sure to use your own words.)
