Metals and non-metals:

Metals have many properties like they are lusterous and are hard. They are also very good conductors of heat and electricity. They are most of the time magnetic also. But this is not for every metal for-example Lithium is soft.

Examples of metals:

Cobalt, iron, copper, plutonium....

Non-metals also have many properties as well. Their properties are pretty much the opposite of metals. They are poor conductors.

Examples of non-metals:

Oxygen, hydrogen, neon.......

Any other questions just type them out and I'll be here.

What are properties of the Metalloids?

Are non-meatals with metallic properties, or metals with out metallic properties.

If you go on this website: http://www.chem.uwec.edu/Chem150_S07/elaborations/unit1/unit-1b-octet-rule/fig2-6.png you will see the Periodic Table of elements, the black line shows metals and non-metals (right non-metals also green) the purple are metalloids.

What are the metaloids?

Metalloids are elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They are located in between metals and nonmetals on the periodic table and include elements like silicon, arsenic, and germanium. Metalloids typically have a combination of metallic and nonmetallic properties, such as being semi-conductive in nature.


What are the names of the major categories of elements on the periodic table?

The major categories of elements on the periodic table are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are usually not shiny, brittle, and poor conductors. Metalloids share properties of both metals and nonmetals.


Where do you find metals nonmetals and metaloids?

Metals are typically found on the left side of the periodic table, nonmetals are on the right side, and metalloids are found between metals and nonmetals in a diagonal line starting from boron to polonium.


How does the number of elements that are metals compare with the number of elements that are non metals?

because of the massive amounts of metals and the not-so-effecient matter of small metaloids, certainley metals are the most high numbered, concluding that the metaloids are the least in numbers. You can figure this out by looking at the table in your 7th grade Chemical Bonding Book.


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.

What are the three into which elements can be classified basd on their proprtiess?

Elements can be classified into metals, nonmetals, and metalloids based on their properties. Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are typically dull, brittle, and poor conductors. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
