What are similarities of metals metalloids and nonmetals?
Some similarities of metals, nonmetals, and metalliods are that they all have a sound when hit, and all have a grayish like color.
What are the three main types of elements on the periodic table?
Metals nonmetals and metalliods
Why aren't metalliods just considered metals or nonmetals?
They have properties of both so it would be inaccurate to specify metal or nonmetal
Are all of the elements in Groups 13 through 15 metals?
Nope. Only those surrounding the staircase line in the periodic table are metalliods. Boron(B), Silicon(S), Germanium(Ge), Arsenic(As), Antimony(Sb), Tellurium(Te) are metalloids. Aluminum(Al) and Polonium(Po) are metals. The others are non-metals.
What are the elements next to the stairstep line called on the periodic table?
Elements to the left of the stair-step line are metals and to the right are the nonmetals.
What can you tell me about metals and non-metals and do you know anything that will simplify the definition of a metalloid without a scientific explanation?
metals= are like things that are shiny and that conduct heat metalliods= element with some propertys like metals nonmetals-= lol idk
What are three characteristics of metalliods?
1. Solids at room temperature 2. Less malleable than metals but not as brittle as nonmetals 3. Semiconductors of heat and electricity
Why are elements in groups 13-18 of the periodic table unique?
a single group can have members that are solids, liquids, and gases and a single group can contain metals , nonmetals and metalliods both a and b
How do metalliods differ from metals?
you can melt a metalloid
What are the three main classes of element?
the are Metals, Metalliods, Non-metals
The valence electrons found in metals are different from nonmetals because .?
metals can conduct electricity, the valence electrons of nonmetals cannot roam freely
Do metaloids contain metals and nonmetals?
Metalloids do not contain either metals or nonmetals. They are elements that have properties of both metals and metalloids, and are found between the metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
