What is an element with properties of both a metal and nonmetal?
all i can give about this is that it is from a crossword puzzle, and it is lined up like this:
_ _ m _ _ _ _ a _
a
s
s

they it depends on if one believes about radioactivity, they make a geiger counter beep but maybe it was going to beep anyway electronics do wierd things all the time or it was programmed to beep near certain metals.

while cooking a piece of 1/2 pound beef steak, a cast iron pan (2.4kg in weight) was heated 260 celsius.
