There are more metals than non-metals. This occurs because of the transition metals group. When looking at a group on the Periodic Table the transition metals makes up a large portion because they are the atoms that take use of the the d orbital for electrons. The d orbital has room for 10 electrons and therefore there is a large number of transition metals per group.

Are thir more metals or nonmetals in the periodic table?
more metals
Do metals or nonmetals tend to gain electrons more easily?
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 there more metals or non metals in the periodic table?
There are more metals than nonmetals on the periodic table. There are 18 nonmetals, compared to 117 known elements.
Which atoms are more electronegative metals or nonmetals?
Non metals are more electronegative.
Why non metals found in more compounds than metals?
Even though there are about five times more elements that are metals than nonmetals, there are more nonmetals than metals found in compounds. Nonmetals form many more compounds than metals because living organisms are composed almost entirely of nonmetals. There are more than 8.7 billion living organisms on Earth.
Do covalent bonds form with metals or non-metals?
Both metals and nonmetals can form covalent bonds, but nonmetals do so more often.
Can nonmetals replace metals in a single replacement reaction?
no, nonmetals replace nonmetals and metals replace metals.
Does potassium react with metals or nonmetals more?
Since potassium is a metal it reacts with nonmetals.
Are metals more reactive then nonmetals?

Are there more nonmetals than metals on the periodic table?
Yes. There are only about 20 nonmetals and only 7 metalloids. The rest of the elements are metals.
