Suppose element X is a poor conductor of electricity and breaks when hit with a hammer. Element Z is a good conductor of electricity and heat. In what area of the periodic table does each element most likely belong?

Exposed/naked seed is characteristic of gymnosperm plants.

It seems to be a metal so all classic properties of metals should apply.

Non metallic elements show properties of non-malleability,non-lustrous and poor conduction of heat and electricity (Except Graphite).
