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
Are covalent bonds more likely to be found in compounds containing both metals and nonmetals or compounds containing only nonmetals?
Nonmetals and metals
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.
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.
Which are more common metals or nonmetals?
Metal because there the biggest section of elements on the periodic table true statement.
Are metals more reactive then nonmetals?
I like trains:d
What is the most reactive group of a metals and nonmetals?
Metals: alkaline metals Nonmetals: halogens
Which is more important metals nonmetals or metalloids?
It depends on what you are using them for. Metals are very ductile, and conduct electricity, nonmetals do a whole lot of things, metalloids can do a mixture
How are metalloids differents from metals and nonmetals?
because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals
What kind of bonds do metals and nonmetals form?
Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
Are nonmetals more electronegative than metals?
Yes, non-metals are more electronegative than metals. Fluorine is the most electronegative element, and it is a nonmetal.
Which have larger ionic sizes metals or nonmetals?
nonmetals
