Do nonmetals or metals have high thermal and electrical conductivity?
Both thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity tend to be higher in metals than in most other materials.
Metals combine easily with nonmetals?
Yes, they form an ionic bond, which is an easily formed bond.
Are some nonmetals magnetic?
all non metals are nonmagnetic not all non metals are non magnetic, there is a certain nonmetal that is magnetic but i am not really sure what is it.
Which group of elements form cations?
what are true about cationA.Metals are not likely to form cations.B.Cations are always smaller than the neutral form of the element.C.Cation size decreases as you go down a group.D.All cations are larger than any anion.E.Cations cannot form in nature.
Do the negative ions tend to be metals or nonmetals?
No, maybe, probably, hopefully, yes, absolutely, then again, um, sure?
What is the most reactive group of a metals and nonmetals?
Metals: alkaline metals Nonmetals: halogens
How are metalloids differents from metals and nonmetals?
because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals
What kind of bonds do metals and nonmetals form?
Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
Which have larger ionic sizes metals or nonmetals?
nonmetals
What is an element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals?
An element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals is a metalloid.
Do nonmetals only combine with nonmetals?
No. Nonmetals will also combine with metals and metalloids
What have the qualities of both metals and nonmetals?
They are metals.
Are Ba and Ca metals or nonmetals?
they are metals
Do the elements go from metals to nonmetals or nonmetals to metals?
Moving from left to right on the periodic table, the elements generall go from metal to nonmetals.
Are covalent bonds more likely to be found in compounds containing both metals and nonmetals or compounds containing only nonmetals?
Nonmetals and metals
Are metals and nonmetals both good conductors?
no because metals conduct heat and electricity well, but nonmetals do not
Are halogens are metals or nonmetals?
The halogen elements are a subset of the nonmetals.
