Element x is a poor conductor of heat, has a low boiling point, and is a brittle solid at room temperature. where on the periodic table would element x most likely be found?

Answer is: nonmetals.

Nonmetals are far right at Periodic table, except hydrogen (H).

The nonmetals are divided into two categories: reactive nonmetals and noble gases.

The type of bond in nonmetal is covalent bond, there is no free electrons, so they do not conduct heat.

Intermolecular forces are weak, so they have low boiling points.

Nonmetals have low electrical and thermal conductivity .

atomic number of carbon is 6

electronic configuration of carbon is 1s²2s²2p²

orbital diagram of carbon is as shown here in the image.

i believe it is c.) 1575 j.
