In the sentence "what kind of element?" like what does it mean? should I answer it's -"metal" or "non-metal"
-or like "Halogen metal" and "Alkali Metals"
-or an element like "hydrogen" and "helium".

Like for example:

What kind of metal has less than 4 valence electrons?

should I answer;

-Francium
or
-Metals

guys,I'm really confused!Can someone enlighten me? ​ ​

Answer:

If the question says "what element", then your answer will be a specific name of an element, like iron, carbon, hydrogen.

but if the question says "what kind of element " then your answer will be name of a group of element like halogens, noble gases, alkali metals and others.
