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.
Where in the periodic are the semimetals found?
Between the metals and the nonmetals in the Periodic Table lie the semimetals
Are covalent bonds more likely to be found in compounds containing both metals and nonmetals or compounds containing only nonmetals?
Nonmetals and metals
Where are nonmetals found on the periodic table and how do their characteristics compare with those of metals?
Nonmetals are found to the right.
Metalloids such as silicon can be found on the periodic table along the border between metals and nonmetals?
yes. they are
What is the difference between metals and nonmetals in regards to how they conduct electricity?
Metals generally are good conductors of electricity, and nonmetals are not.
Molecules form between whereas ionic compounds form between?
nonmetals; nonmetals and metals
How can you describe the location ofthe metals nonmetals and metalloids on the periodic table?
The metals are normally found on the left of the Periodic Table, the non-metals on the right and the metalloids in between.
What is the element between the metals and nonmetals?
Metaloids
What is the relationship between metals and nonmetals?
nothing
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.
The valence electrons found in metals are different from nonmetals because .?
metals can conduct electricity, the valence electrons of nonmetals cannot roam freely
