    E 3 Bruce was having a barbecue. He used
    charcoal as a fuel. This is mostly made
    of the element carbon. The tools that
    Bruce was using were made of metal,
    with wooden handles.
    a Why are the handles of the barbecue
    tools made of wood and not metal?

    [1 mark]
    b Bruce dropped one of the pieces of charcoal and it broke when it hit the ground.
    What word describes things which shatter in this way?

    [1 mark]
    c All of these statements about charcoal are true.
    Tick one box which shows a property that is more typical of metals than
    non-metals.

    Charcoal is a dull black solid.


    Charcoal burns when you heat it.
    Charcoal has a high melting point.
    Charcoal has a low density. [1 mark]

    d These statements about the burning charcoal may be true or false. Write ‘T’ in
    the box if the statement is true, and ‘F’ if it is false.

    When charcoal burns it reacts with the oxygen in the air.


    Carbon dioxide is formed when charcoal burns.
    The ashes from the charcoal will have a greater mass than the charcoal that you started with.
    The ashes from the charcoal will contain carbon dioxide.
