metals, non-metails and metalloids

Elements are classified into metals, metalloids, and nonmetals based on their physical and chemical properties. Metals are typically shiny, conduct heat and electricity well, and are malleable. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals. Nonmetals are usually dull in appearance and poor conductors of heat and electricity.

No, all elements on the periodic table cannot be classified as metals or non-metals. The periodic table includes metals, non-metals, and metalloids, which have properties of both metals and non-metals. Elements are classified based on their physical and chemical properties, such as conductivity, reactivity, and appearance.
Non-metals are poor conductors, are brittle, not ductile in their solid state, show no metallic luster, and have low density.
Nitrogen is a non-metal because it does not possess the typical properties of metals, such as being a good conductor of electricity or having a shiny appearance. It belongs to the group of elements on the periodic table that are classified as non-metals due to their physical and chemical characteristics.
Yes, non-metals have a wide range of chemical properties. They can be solids, liquids, or gases, and can exhibit properties such as high electronegativity, poor conductivity of heat and electricity, and varied reactivity with other substances.
Elements that are classified as non-metals are characterized by a tendency to undergo chemical reactions in which they acquire electrons; this compares to metals which tend to lose electrons. In slightly more technical terms, this means that non-metals are oxidizing agents and metals are reducing agents; when you mix metals and non-metals together, they tend to react with each other, in what is sometimes called a redox reaction (reduction and oxidation). Other than that, non-metals are generally softer (or gaseous) and less shiny than metals are, they generally do not conduct electricity as well as metals do, they do not have the silvery color of metals.
Physical: malleability of the wire Density of the brackets Chemical: they are non toxic
Physical properties of nonmetals are generally just the opposite of metals so: - No luster (dull appearance) - Not ductile - Low density - Low melting point - Poor conductor - Not malleable The chemical properties of non metals just tend to gain electrons Hope that helps
Chemical elements can be divided into metals and non-metals. Metals typically have properties like luster, conductivity, and malleability, while non-metals are generally less shiny, poor conductors, and more brittle.
