What are the three classes of elements?
The three classes of elements are metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.
Do nonmetals only combine with nonmetals?
No. Nonmetals will also combine with metals and metalloids
What are the elements called that are between metals and nonmetals?
One name is "metalloids".
Which elements in the periodic table are nonmetals and which are metalloids?
Non metals have properties opposite those of the metals . The metalloids, or semimetals, have properties that are somewhat of a cross between metals and nonmetals.
How do you determine which elements are metals and which are nonmetals?
The metalloids
What is the element that has characteristics of metals and nonmetals?
Metalloids
What are found between metals and nonmetals?
the metalloids
What elements has both metals and nonmetals?
metalloids
What type of bonding happens to metalloids and metals and why?
• Metalloids: usually form covalent bonds with atoms of metals, nonmetals and other metalloids. They can easily take electrons from metals and lose electrons to nonmetals. • Metalloids: usually form covalent bonds with atoms of metals, nonmetals and other metalloids. They can easily take electrons from metals and lose electrons to nonmetals. They form because they want their valence shell to be full. Metals usually lose valence electrons because they want to stabilize their valence shell. Metalloids depends because they have different properties of metals and non metals.
What are the three major groups of elements on the periodic table?
The three classes of periodic elements are:Metals,that usually tend to lose electrons to form positive ions.Semi-metals or MetalloidsNon-metals,that usually tend to accept electrons to become negative ions.
Is the human body mostly made up of metals nonmetals or metalloids?
metalloids
What has properties of metals and non metals?
The metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
