Is S8 a network solid?
Pure sulfur (S) does not form network solids. You may be thinking of silicon (Si) which does.
Is astatine ductile?

A metal that can be squeezed into wire?
Ductile
Examples of a ductile material?
-- copper-- tungsten-- playdoh-- taffy
Are most nonmetals ductile?
Most metals that are solids are very ductile. Mercury is on of the few exceptions due to it is a liquid metal.
Which type of solids have a very ordered arangment of particles?
Network solids.
What are covalent-network solids?
Network Solids are atomic solids that contain strong directional covalent bonds to form a solid that might be best viewed as a giant molecule.
What is a solid that consists of crystals?
Network solids, or network atomic solids, are large crystals with covalent bonds holding the atoms together. Gemstones including diamonds and rubies are network solids. Crystalline solids have a constituent arranged in ordered patterns and include amethyst quartz.
Why are Na and K called waxy solids?
Both Na and K are very 'soft' or ductile (easy malleable) metals.
What are the properties of a metal?
Most metals are solids at room temps. They have a luster (shine) and are good conductors of heat and electricity. They are mallable and ductile.
What physical properties do metals have?
1-they are good conductors of heat & electricity 2 they have luster 3-they are ductile 4-all of them in the form of solids
How are solids designated on the periodic table?
It can be categorised into -Ionic -Covalent molecular -Metallic -Covalent network
