The following tables give information about the properties of some chemicals.

Chemical Electrical Conductivity  Melting Point 
    Solid  Liquid  Solution in water  (oC)
A Poor  Good  Good  810
B Good Good  Not Soluble  1450
C Good  Good  Not Soluble  1540
D Poor  Poor  Good  -101
E Poor  Good  Good  770
F Poor  Poor  Not soluble  119
G Poor  Poor  Not Soluble  1410

The properties listed are the ability of the chemical to conduct electricity as a solid, as a liquid (i.e., molten), as a solution in water. The melting point of each chemical is given in the fifth column.
Study the above table carefully and then answer the questions below. Use the letters given in the first column of the table to indicate your choice.

(a) Which of the above chemicals could be a metal?

(b) Which chemicals have a molecular structure?

(c) Which chemicals seem to change from molecular structure to ions when dissolved?

(d) Which chemicals could be definitely not be an element?
