Why do nonmetals not have their own name instead of being not like metals?
They do have their own names! The periodic table is actually split up into far more groups then just the metals and non-metals. The groups actually are as following: The Alkali metals The Alkaline earth metals The Lanthanides The Actinides The transition metals Other metals (all of the above are collectively grouped as the metals.) The Metaloids (these can neither be definitely grouped as metals or non-metals as they share properties of both.) Other non-metals The Halogens The Noble gases (these are collectively grouped as non-metals.) The reason for the fact that the collective groups being known as just the metals and non-metals is most likely due to the fact that there are far more metals, so it is more likely that these were discovered and then named first. There is no strong definition on what is a metal or non-metal, however, non-metals can generally be defined by having a negative valence whereas metals have a positive valence.
Which elements are both alkali metals and halogens?
No element is a member of both the halogens and the alkali metals. Hydrogen shares some properties of the two groups, but belongs to neither. It is instead in a group all its own.
Do semi-metals count as a metal?
No. Semi-metals are their own class of elements.
How sodium chloride is a substance that has similar properties as sodium and chlorine or is it an entirely different substance with its own unique properties?
Sodium chloride is it an entirely different substance with its own unique properties.
Can the metal plates in an electrochemical cell be made of the same metal?
Historically, no, each metal has its own redox potential and it is the difference between them that causes the flow of electrons with the electrolyte carrying the charge in the cell and the circuit between the metals that carries them outside the cell. However, there are now cells that do not use the metals to create the electrochemical potentials where the metals are only conductors wherein the metals are where the electrochemical reactions take place, but are not reactants. These have to have a membrane between the two reaction compartments to keep the two reactants from reacting in solution or in the gaseous state. These are more often referred to as batteries in my opinion, or as fuel cells.
Does a solution retain its own properties?
"Mixture"Each component in a mixture retain its properties.
Are there any metals that have different properties than other metals?
Each metal has its own specific set of properties. Some metals are better conductors than others. Some metals have higher melting temperatures than others, there is even a metal that is in a liquid state at room temperature, that metal is called Mercury. Same metals are more malleable than others. They also differ in weights, in density.

What are the physical and chemical properties of solder?
Solder is a mixture of various metals. Its physical property is that it melts at fairly low temperatures, not so low that it melts when this is undesired. Its reactions are the same as the component metals.
When two or more substances combine so that each maintains its own properties it is called?

When two or more substances are combined so that each substance maintains its own properties is?

What has its own family in the periodic table?
metals vs. non metals
Do semi-metals count as a metal?
No. Semi-metals are their own class of elements.
What are the physical properties of lead II acetate?
Lead is classified as a metal. it has luster, it has high density, it has a low melting point (compared to other metals), it is toxic, it is hard, it is strong (but not a good building material) and is a dull gray in color.
Is baking soda a solute?
A solution is a homogeneous mixture if one or more solutes completely dissolves in a solvent. Baking soda on it's own is not a solution, however it can be a solution in water.
Are all the noble gases on the periodic table non metals?
yes all noble gases are non metals in the sense that they are not metals ,but they are in no way similar to nonmetals that they should be grouped together , they are after all the noble in nature . :)
