2c) What simple test could be used to prove that lithium is a metal? You should describe the test and the result you get for a metal.
WTFH4X? How would I answer this?

How can I prove that it's a metal? If you actually read the thread...
Make it react with other elements and if they act accordingly to the characteristics of a metal, then its a metal
Ok, three ways:
1. Electric conductivity. Run a current through it, find out how many electrons it conducts.
2. Innate Magnetism. All metals are ferromagnetic, which means they're big ass permanent magnets.
3. Oxides. Take the oxides, see how they react to different substances along the pH scale, from acids to bases
Not true, aluminum is just one example of a nonferrous-metal.Originally Posted by Benjii
But it would be correct to say they influence a magnetic field.
In Science atm lol
Thanks for the replies, the answer my teacher was looking for was if it can conduct electricity; such a simple answer, yet I never even thought of it.
