To seperate the metals and nonmetals
Elements to the left of the zigzag line on the periodic table are metals. These include alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, and transition metals. Metals tend to be shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity.
Whether an element is a metal, nonmetal, or semimetal. Elements around the zig zag are semimetals Elements to the left of the zig zag (and the majority of elements) are metals Elements on the right of the zig zag are nonmetals
The zigzag line on the periodic table separates metals from non-metals. Metals are found to the left of this line, while non-metals are generally located to the right of the line.
There is a zigzag line that separates that metals and nonmetal- everything on the left is metal, everything on the right is non-metal, everything touching the line is a metalloid (neither)
One nonmetal that is on the wrong side of the zigzag line is Hydrogen. While it is usually placed on the left side with the metals, it is a nonmetal.
They are called metalloids or semi metals. Ga,Ge,Si are few examples. They have both metal and non metal properties.
The semi metals are called metalloids. They are present on zigzag line on periodic table.
The zig zag line is called the "staircase" because of its appearance. This line is the separation between metals and non-metals. Elements touching the line or staircase are called semi-metals or metalloids. These semi-metals often have some properties of both metals and non-metals.
