1. a. The elements very similar to copper are iron / lead / aluminium. They are metals.
b. The elements sulfur / carbon are very different from copper. They are non-metals.
2. a. The element mercury is a dense, shiny, silvery liquid at room temperature; it is an excellent
conductor of electricity. Frozen mercury can be bent and stretched. Mercury is more like copper than
sulfur, so it is a metal and not a non-metal.
b. It is liquid at room temperature.
c. Shiny, malleable, ductile, and conductors of heat and electricity.

Where are metals found? (page 104)

Across Down
3. Lead 1. Calcium
5. Iron 2. Chromium
6. Magnesium 4. Zinc
8. Copper 6. Mercury
9. Aluminium 7. Gold

Physical changes (page 104)

1. A = Evaporation and B = Condensation.
2. Sun
3. gravity

Chemical changes (page 105)

1. A = Steam/water vapour, B = Carbon dioxide, C = Ash.
2. A: Steam rises to form clouds; rain enters the soil and trees absorb the water through their roots.
B: Carbon dioxide is released into the air and trees absorb it through their leaves/stomata.
C: Ash/minerals enter the soil and trees absorb the minerals through their roots.
