DO all non metals have the same physical properties?
no
What are the physical properties of the non metals?
metal- shiny non-metal- dull
What are the physical properties and chemical properties of elements and how are they grouped on the periodic table?
metals, non-metails and metalloids
Do all nonmetals have some similar physical properties?
Non-metals are much more diverse than metals, however, they all have some similar physical properties. Non-metals are not good conductors of heat or electricity. Solids are usually brittle, non-ductile, not shiny, and at least partially transparent or translucent.
What has properties of metals and non metals?
The metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
What physical properties are shared by most non-metals?
They have high ionization energy and high electronegativity.
What is a physical property shared by all metalloids?
They are all solids. They have properties of metals and non metals.
What is classification for the elements that have properties of both metals and non metals?
Metalloids Metalloids have properties of both metals and non-metals.
Is malleable properties of both metals and non metals?
metals
Do metals have properties of metallic and non metallic?
No, metalloids have properties of metals and nonmetals.
What properties do non metals have in common?
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.
How are semi metals related to metals and non metals?
They have properties of metals and non-metals, and also have properties that are around '1/2' of both. An example is silicon, which has a high melting point and is solid (metallic properties). However it is very brittle and it forms an acidic oxide (non-metal). It is a semi-conductor.
