Do metals tend to have higher energy valence orbitals than non-metals?
Yes
Do nonmetals have lower densities than metals?
No, they have higher density than non-metals comparatively.
Would you expect metals or nonmetals in the same periods to have higher ionization energies?
Non-metals have higher ionization energies within the same period. This is because non-metals want to gain electrons to be able to be like the nearest noble gas.
Is hydrogen polar or non polar molecule?
hydrogen would not non polar because when you subtract electronegativy differences you would get 0, and anything from 0-0.4 is NP
Would metals or non metals tend to have a higher melting point?
Tungsten has the highest melting point of the elements and it is a metal.
Why density of metals is higher then non metals?
Generally, because outer electrons are mixed together, not needing defined orbits
Are halogens metals or non non-metals?
Non metals
Why percentage of ferrous metals is higher than non ferrous metals?
because ferrous metals are stronger and harder than ferrous metals thats why they are extensively used in structural application.
Classes of elements?
Metals, non metals and metaloids (which have some of the properties of both metals and non metals).
Are metalloids metals non metals the same?
They are in between the metals and non metals
Are most of the element metals or non metals?
Non metals
Are noble gases non metals or metals?
non metals
