What element has three energy levels and properties of metals and nonmetals?
The element has 3 energy levels means that it is in the 3rd period. The only metalloid in the 3rd period is Si. It is in the 14th group.
When is energy given off by most nonmetals?
when they form compounds with metals or other non-metals
When is energy given off most nonmetals?
when they form compounds with metals or other 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.
How are non metals different to metals?
metalloids are a cross between metals and nometals, meaning it has properties of BOTH metals and nonmetals.
What group of elements share characteristics of with both metals and nonmetals?
they share different metals together
What is the most reactive group of a metals and nonmetals?
Metals: alkaline metals Nonmetals: halogens
How are metalliods different to metals and non-metals?
metalloids are a cross between metals and nometals, meaning it has properties of BOTH metals and nonmetals.
What are the characteristics of semi metal?
Semi-metals (or metalloids) are good semiconductors. They have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. They also have ranging reactivity levels.
What is reactivity of properties of metals?
Electronegativities of metals are very different: alkali metals are very reactive, platinum metals very unreactive. Metals react with nonmetals.
What is the metallic properties?
Electronegativities of metals are very different: alkali metals are very reactive, platinum metals very unreactive. Metals react with nonmetals.
