Are thir more metals or nonmetals in the periodic table?
more metals
Would you expect strontium to be more like potassium bromine why?
Strontium, with atomic symbol Sr, would be more like potassium, because both strontium and potassium are active metals and bromine is a nonmetal. The actual element with symbol S is sulfur, and that would be more like bromine, because those elements are both nonmetals.
What is the rule for the activity trends of metals and nonmetals?
Metals: the farther to the left the more reactive they are. Group 1 metals, which include sodium and potassium, are so highly reactive that they do not exist in nature by themselves (only in compound form.) Non-metals: the farther to the right the more reactive they are *with the exception of group 18* which are the noble gases and do not react at all. The most reactive are group 17, which include fluorine and chlorine. These non-metals, like group 1, rarely exist by themselves because of their high reactivity.
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
Which metal is most reactive with oxygen?
The alkali metals, group 1 of the periodic table, react more and more with O2 as you descend the group. From Na down to Cs, the metals are stored in oil so that they don't form an oxide layer. If you watch videos on Youtube about these metals, you'll see the oxide layer actually form before your eyes.
Why won't aluminum and potassium react when mixed together?
Aluminum and potassium are both metals. Metals for alloys but do not react with one another. In somewhat more detail, metals tend to react by giving up their electrons to nonmetals. Since both aluminum and potassium will tend to give up electrons rather than gain them, they do not react.
What metals will react with aluminum nitrate?
Metals which are more reactive than aluminium. Eg= Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium, etc
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 makes up most of your body - metals or nonmetals?
The human body is mostly made up of nonmetals.
