Elements are classified as set out in the Periodic Table of the elements. It is NOT clear to what "three" you are referring.

What three groups do scientist arrange elements into?

Scientists arrange elements into metals, nonmetals, and metalloids based on their physical and chemical properties. Metals are typically good conductors of electricity, nonmetals are poor conductors, and metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.


What is the boron family classified as?

The Boron family is classified as Metals andMetalloids. They are Group 13 and have 3 valence electrons. The Boron family are solids at room temperature and they are reactive. But, the most reactive are the Alkali Metals. They have a violent reaction with water. Hope this helps! :)


Who was Dobereiner?

johann dobereiner had contributed towards the base of the periodic table and discovered that the elements shared similiar properties because there always was three elementzs in three groups that he later refered to as Triads.


What are the differences between the elements?

Each element has an atom that has different amounts of protons, neutrons, and electrons. This is the case for the element's atomic number and atomic mass. They are arranged by their differences on the periodic table of the elements. Most elements are metals. The three categories for the elements are metals, nonmetals and metalloids. ----


Why is calcite classified as a compound?

Calcite is classified as a compound because it is composed of more than one element chemically bonded together. In the case of calcite, it is made up of the elements calcium, carbon, and oxygen bonded in a specific ratio, which gives it its distinct chemical properties.

What are the three into which elements can be classified basd on their proprtiess?

Elements can be classified into metals, nonmetals, and metalloids based on their properties. Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are typically dull, brittle, and poor conductors. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.


What are the three metallic properties table is divided into?

UMM... if you're asking how how are the elements classified into three parts, it's: 1) metal 2) nonmetal 3)metalloid


Can elements be classified as metals nonmetals or metalloids?

Yes they can, all of them. Metals, nonmetals, and metalloids are three different types of elements on the periodic table. One of the differences between them is the types of bonds they share with eachother: ionic, covalent, or metallic.

Why did Johann dobereiner trying to order the elements?

Johann Dobereiner attempted to order the elements to find patterns and relationships between their properties. He proposed the Law of Triads, which grouped elements with similar properties into sets of three based on their atomic weights. This was an early attempt at organizing the elements before the more comprehensive periodic table was developed.


What are three unusual properties of polonium and radium?

These elements are: - radioactive - dangerous - rare - expensive


Which three groups of the periodic table contain the most elements classified as metalloids?

The three groups of the periodic table that contain the most elements classified as metalloids are: Group 14 (Carbon group), Group 15 (Nitrogen group), and Group 16 (Oxygen group). These groups have elements such as silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, and polonium that exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals.


What are the three metallic properties of elements?

The main three properties of the metals are malleability (you can shape it easily), ductility (you can turn it into a wire) and conductivity (it will carry heat and electricity very well).
