What is the difference between metal and semimetal and nonmetal?
Metals are good heat and electricity conducters, most are solids, etc. Non-metals are not good conductors, made of mostly solids and gases, etc. And I don't think Semi-metal is even a term, I think the word your looking for is Metalloid which has properties of the other two.
What is the most reactive group of non metals in the periodic table?
Group-17 are most reactive non-metals. They form halogens.
Are metals most known elements?
yes metals are more common than non-metals
Does non metals have shiny appearances?
It depends on the element. Some metals have very un-shiny appearences, and some non-metals are very reflective.
Are nonmetals nonconductors?
Most non-metals are in fact considered to be non-conductors. Some non-metals however do have the ability to conduct heat and electricity.
Are non metals conducters?
they are poor electricity and heat conductors
Are non metals good conducters of heat?
no they are not. for example they are used as insulators in double glazing and flasks. if they were good conductors this would not work the heat would pass through.
Where are the most reactive non metals?
The most reactive non metals are Halogens which may combine most of the metals as well as non metals.
Are most of the element metals or non metals?
Non metals
How do you distinguish a metallic and a non metallic by using 5 properties?
metals are shinier than some of thenon metals. metals are excellent conducters of heat and electricity. metals can bear alot of strain without breaking. metals can be made into thin wires. metals can be mae into thin shapes.
What are good conductor of heat and electricity?
Most metals. Non-metals usually do NOT have both these properties.
Are most elements metallic or nonmetallic?
The metals outnumber the non-metals by a good margin.
Do non metals contuct heat?
Non metals do not conduct heat. They have high resistance.They are insulators.Non metals do not have a pool of 'free electrons' (as metals do with metallic bonds). Hence they generally are poor conductors of heat. Nonmetals such as Styrofoam are widely used as insulators. Graphite is an exception as it is a good conductor of heat with its free electrons.Most of the non metals does not conductors because the do not have free electrons. But graphite is a good conductor. Most of the non metals are insulators.
Most elements are what?
metals
What is the difference between metal and semimetal and nonmetal?

Which can conduct electricity metals or non-metals?
Mainly metals. All metals are fairly good conductors. Some non-metals can conduct electricity, as well.
what is the most reactive (non-metals) group in the periodic table?
the most reactive (non-metals) group in the periodic table is GROUP 17+they are all reactive
