Are metals and nonmetals and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
What kind of bonds do metals and nonmetals form?
Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
Do nonmetals only combine with nonmetals?
No. Nonmetals will also combine with metals and metalloids
Are Ba and Ca metals or nonmetals?
they are metals
Do the elements go from metals to nonmetals or nonmetals to metals?
Moving from left to right on the periodic table, the elements generall go from metal to nonmetals.
Which property is characteristic of many nonmetals and few metals?
The property characteristic of many nonmetals and few metals is odor.
What are many non-metals?
Many nonmetals are gases.
Are metals and nonmetals and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
What is the most reactive group of a metals and nonmetals?
Metals: alkaline metals Nonmetals: halogens
Does nonmetals are highly reactive while metals are completely nonreactive?
It is not true; many metals are very reactive and several nonmetals are nonreactive.
How are metalloids differents from metals and nonmetals?
because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals
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.
What kind of bonds do metals and nonmetals form?
Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
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.
Which have larger ionic sizes metals or nonmetals?
nonmetals
What is an element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals?
An element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals is a metalloid.
Do nonmetals only combine with nonmetals?
No. Nonmetals will also combine with metals and metalloids
