Chapter 24, Problem 3QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The differences between the physical and chemical properties of chlorine (Cl2) and magnesium are to be described.

Concept Introduction:

Metals are considered flexible, radiant, tensile substances that are good conductors of heat and electricity. They make positive ions (cations) by losing electrons.

Nonmetals are considered brittle, high electronegativities, and high ionization-energysubstances that are good insulators of heat. The ability of gaining electrons easily is found in most of the nonmetals. They make negative ions (anions) by gaining electrons.
