The outer electron shell of all of the noble gases (Neon, Argon, etc) have a complete octet (except helium which only has and only needs two electrons to complete its valence shell) which makes them very stable and nonreactive. The metals on the left (Na, Li, etc) all contain just one electron in their outer shell which makes them unstable and they tend to form ionic bonds.
Note that the column of elements just to the left of the noble gases (the rightmost column save one), the halogens, is also highly reactive, because the halogens all only need a single elecron to form the "stable octet" in the outer shell.

Talking about sides, you may mean
Left side = metals
Right side = non metals
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe elements on the right side are mostly nonmetals and their charge is negative
The elements on the left side is all metals and their charge is positive.

What is the difference between period and groups in the periodic table?
the difference between groups (also known as families) and periods is: a group is a column and a period goes across the table remember that
Where are nonmetals located in the periodic table?
they are located in the right corner of the Periodic Table i think
Which two elements on the periodic table have the biggest electronegativity difference between two atoms?
cesium and fluorine
The elements characterized as nonmetals are located in the periodic table at the?
The nonmetals are located on the right side of the periodic table. Refer to the related links for a periodic table that indicates the nonmetals.
What is the difference between the periodic table and Mendeleev's table?
Mendeleev's table was arranged by atomic mass and the periodic table is arranged by protons (atomic number).
WhaT IS the difference between the period table and the periodic table?
In chemistry, none! the period table does not exist one can only find the periodic table although the rows of the periodic table are called periods or series. !

Where are the 3 regions of the periodic table located?
The periodic table comprises of metals (on the left) ,non-metals(on the right ) and transition elements (between metals and non-metals) in the periodic table.
What is the difference between a period and a group on page 126-127 in the Nelson Science Textbook of Grade 9 for Ontario?
The difference between a period and a group is that:A periodic is a horizontal row of elements in the periodic table, which simply means the column of the periodic table.A group is a vertical row of elements in the periodic table, which simply means the row of the periodic table.
Difference between compound and mixture on periodic table?
The periodic table contain only chemical elements, not compounds or mixtures.
