HEL!! What statement below correctly describes the characteristics of a metal?

a) Metals are found on the right side of the periodic table, good conductors of heat and electricity, and malleable.
b) Metals are found on the left side of the periodic table, good conductors of heat and electricity, and malleable.
c) Metals are found on the left side of the periodic table, good insulators, and malleable.
d) Metals are found on the right side of the periodic table, good conductors of heat and electricity, and brittle.

i promise you it's b

Explanation:

its not a or d because gasses are on the right side, its not d because metals are not brittle, and it's not c because theyre good conducters not insulators

b. metals are found on the left side of the periodic table, good conductors of heat and electricity, and malleable.

explanation:

non-metals are on the right (except for hydrogen, it's on the left-hand side)

good luck :)

hopefully, this helps

have a great day !!
