At room temperature more than half of the nonmetal elements are?

Half are solid, one is liquid and the rest are gases. So there is no basic phase that more than half occupy.

What kinds of elements are involved in an ionic bond?
In most cases the types of elements that are involved in ionic bonding are a metal and a nonmetal. for example: NaCl , KI and some more.
What are some of the properties that helped scientists organize elements into metals and nonmetals?
physical property (gas, liquid, solid) atomic number electronegativity atomic mass and MANY more!
What elements are most likely to form an ionic compound?
Members of groups 1, 2, 6, 7 in the Periodic Table are most likely to form ionic compounds. It depends on what pair of elements are involved, for instance one rule of thumb is metal with nonmetal. Another, more systematic way, to assess this is to consider the difference in electronegativity between the two elements. If the electronegativity difference is 2 or more then the bond will be ionic. If the difference is less than 2 but more than 1.6 and one of the elements is a metal then there can be an ionic bond.
How do scientists use the rate at which radioactive elements decay in rocks?
they measure how long it takes for half of its unstable molecules to turn to more stable atoms, a half life
Which is more metallic silver or sulfur?
Silver is a metal. Sulphur is a nonmetal.
What kinds of elements are involved in an ionic bond?
In most cases the types of elements that are involved in ionic bonding are a metal and a nonmetal. for example: NaCl , KI and some more.
What is A is a material made of two or more elements at least one of which is metal?
If it is composed of a metal and a nonmetal, then it will most likely be an ionic compound.
Is chlorine the most or least reactive of all elements?
Neither. Chlorine is among the most highly reactive nonmetal elements, but fluorine and oxygen are even more reactive, as are the heavier alkali and alkaline earth metals.
Is Br or At a more reactive nonmetal?
Bromine would likely be more reactive. Little is known about the chemical properties of astatine because it is very rare and has a short half-life.
What are the three elements that are gas at room temperature?
Carbon OxygenArgonNitrogen(there are even more)
What are the unstable element?
Radioactive elements are unstable, and the shorter the half-life, the more unstable they are.
What is an element that is highly reactive gaseous nonmetal?
Chlorine and fluorine, with fluorine more reactive. Some would also include oxygen. (The two remaining halogens are not gaseous at room temperature.)
Is fluorine a metalliod?
It is a nonmetal, more specifically, it is a halogen.
How long can half and half creamer sit at room temperature?
yes because it helps your instinks and eat it
What happens toa nonmetal to form an ion?
A nonmetal will gain one or more electrons in order to form a negatively charged ion.
What must a non-metal atom such as iodine do to become stable?
An atom of a nonmetal becomes an ion, specifically an anion, by attracting to itself one or more electrons from one or more atoms of one or more other and less electronegative elements.
How is water derived from two gases?
When two or more elements are combined to make a compound, water, the new compound can have completely new properties(water is a liquid at room temperature ,while hydrogen and oxygen (elements in the water) are both gases at room temperature),or they can have similar properties to their elements
