on metals are brittle. They are less dense and non sonorous
In general, non metals are more electronegative
metals, non-metals, and metaloids
The metals and non-metals have been arranged according to their densities in the periodic table.
There are 2 most general categories. These are metals and non-metals.
Non metals are brittle.They are non lustrous. They have low melting point.
their general properties is that they are all non metals
Non metals
The general properties of a metalloid are a combination of the properties of both metals and non-metals. Aside from those properties, they have the unique property of being semi-conductors.
Non-metals are located on the right side of the periodic table. They include elements such as carbon, oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen. In general, non-metals tend to be poor conductors of heat and electricity.
In general along the period from left to right the non metallic property of elements decreases... also down the period the metallic property increases in general... Hence, we mostly find the non metals in the p-block, especially in the upper periods... Halogens, Chalcogens , Pnicogens , are almost all non metals with a few exception (metalloids like Bismuth)...
"Dense" is a property that can describe both metals and non-metals. Metals in general tend to be denser than non-metals due to their atomic structure, but there are exceptions. It's important to consider the specific element in question when determining its density.
