Our Mission. The Office of Social Responsibility promotes social impact, recommends policy, develops internal and external socially responsible strategies, and ensures that Port activities are conducted within a framework of equity, inclusion and equal access.
Metal elements are usually good conductors of both electricity and heat. The dividing line between metals and non-metals is not hard and fast, thus the distinction between Post-transition metals and Metalloids is represented differently on different versions of the Periodic Table.etal elements are usually good conductors of both electricity and heat.

Some of the nonmetals are gasses at room temperature, some are solids, one (bromine) is a liquid. Unlike metals, some of the nonmetals exist as distinct molecules. Nonmetals generally form negative ions. Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals and do not fit neatly into either category.They are often lustrous like metals but tend to be brittle like nonmetals. metalloids are classified as semiconductors as they have a moderate ability to conduct heat and electricity. They are solid at room temperature..onmetals generally form negative ions. Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals and do not fit neatly into either category.
