Why is the range of densities much greater among the nonmetals than among the metals?

Nonmetals contain about equal numbers of solid and gas or liquid elements. The subatomic particles that make up gases and liquids are more spread out and less compact than in solids. Therefore, gases and liquids are less dense than solids. Because nonmetals contain about equal numbers of solid and gas or liquid elements, they have a greater density range than the predominantly solid metals.

What are the two main differences in 1A and 7A elements?

The classification with 1A, 7A etc. is not recommended by IUPAC and is obsolete.The 1A elements are alkali metals, all solids; the 7A elements are the nonmetals (halogens). Halogens can be gaseous, liquids or solids at room temperature.
