QUESTION:
Match each of the elements on the right with its description on the left:

(b) A soft metal that reacts with water to produce hydrogen. Boron(B)
(c) A metalloid that is hard and has a high melting point. Aluminum(Al)
(d) A colorless, odorless gas. Fluorine\(\mathrm {(F_2)}\)
(e) A metal that is more reactive than iron, but does not corrode in air. Sodium(Na)
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
In the periodic table each and every element has characteristics.
• Fluorine is the pale yellow gas that reacts with water.
• Sodium is very reactive and attacks water;Hydrogen will be the product of this reaction.
• Boron is a metalloid; it is hard and has a high melting point.
• Nitrogen is a colorless and odorless gas.
• Aluminum is more reactive than iron, but does not corrode in air.
