nonmetals are elements to the right of the stairstep on the Periodic Table. Hydrogen is also a nonmetal and the only exception. Nonmetals are dull, react w/ each other to form non polar compounds, are not malleable, have a dull color, and conduct heat and electricity poorly

What are the characteristics of elements that are metals?
Non-metals.
What are the characteristics of metalaloid?
metalaoids have both the characteristics of metals and non metals. ex:-boron,germanyum.
Can an element be both metal and non-metal?
no, but there are metalloids, which have properties of both metals and non metals
Are metalloids metals non metals the same?
They are in between the metals and non metals
Which group of elements shares the same characteristics its both metals and non metals?
Metalloids
What are the characteristics non metal?
Some characteristics of non-metals are that they are poor conductors of electricity and heat, brittle, and have high electronegativities. On the Periodic Table, examples of non-metals are nitrogen, carbon, the halogens, and sulfur.
Are boron and silicon metals?
They are both considered to be Metalloids meaning they have some metal characteristics and some non-metal characteristics.
Is boron a non metal and why?
Boron is classified as a metalloid, meaning it exhibits characteristics of both metals and non-metals. It is a poor conductor of electricity like non-metals, but it can form covalent bonds like non-metals. Boron's classification as a metalloid is due to its intermediate properties between metals and non-metals.
Is arsenic considered as a heavy metal?
No, arsenic is a metalloid, which means it has characteristics of both metals and non-metals.
What are 2 charactistics of non-metals?
Metals and Nonmetals have specific characteristics. Two characteristics of Nonmetals are typically brittle and do not shape easily, and they do not conduct heat or electricity well.
Is silicon boron and antimony metals?
Silicon is a metalloid, which exhibits both metallic and non-metallic characteristics. Boron is a metalloid as well, with properties in between those of metals and non-metals. Antimony is a metal.
