Answers:
Name the following
1. Oxygen, Nitrogen and Carbon
2. Diamond (an allotrope of Carbon)
3. Ductility
4. Iodine
5. Sulphur and Phosphorous
6. Graphite conducts electricity. Diamond good conductor of heat.
7. Diamond
8. Silver, Gold, Platinum
9. Malleability
10. Chlorine

II.
1. Metalloids
2. Silver
3. Sonorous
4. Copper < Aluminium < Magnesium < Zinc < Sodium
