The elements to the right of that zigzag are called "non-metals"
Generally nonmetals and metalloids.
The staircase along the periodic table is called the "staircase of metalloids" or "zigzag line." It separates the metals on the left from the nonmetals on the right and helps to distinguish between the properties of elements in different regions of the table.
The zig zag line is called the "staircase" because of its appearance. This line is the separation between metals and non-metals. Elements touching the line or staircase are called semi-metals or metalloids. These semi-metals often have some properties of both metals and non-metals.
Elements on the left side of periodic table are metals. The right side elements are non metals and the zigzag line constitutes metalloids.
They are called metalloids or semi metals. Ga,Ge,Si are few examples. They have both metal and non metal properties.
Non metals
Non metals
Elements found to the right of the zigzag line on the periodic table are nonmetals such as nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and noble gases like helium and neon. These elements generally have properties like low melting points, poor conductivity, and tend to form negative ions in chemical reactions.
Metalloids are located in zigzag patter. It is towards right in the periodic table.
Metalloids are placed on zigzag line. It is towards right side in periodic table.
I assume you're referring to the bold line that runs down the right side of the periodic table. If so, there isn't really a name for them. The line separates elements on the left side (which are metals) from elements on the right side (non-metals). The elements directly on the Hays-McDaniel Line are sometimes referred to as "metalloids".
Whether an element is a metal, nonmetal, or semimetal. Elements around the zig zag are semimetals Elements to the left of the zig zag (and the majority of elements) are metals Elements on the right of the zig zag are nonmetals
