Respuesta :
metalloid is the closest because noble gases are obviously out, nonmetals are terrible conductors, and metals are not malleable
Answer: Option (1) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Metals are the substances which are malleable and ductile. They are lustrous and are good conductors of heat and electricity.
Metals do react with oxygen and results in the formation of metal oxides.
Thus, we can conclude that a solid element that is malleable, a good conductor of electricity, and reacts with oxygen is classified as a metal.
