Want this question answered?
Non metals have properties opposite those of the metals . The metalloids, or semimetals, have properties that are somewhat of a cross between metals and nonmetals.
If the difference in electronegativity between the metal and the non metal is above 1.7, then ionic bond is formed. If the difference in electronegativity between the metal and the non metal is below 1.7, then polar covalent bond is formed.
Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
No. Nonmetals will also combine with metals and metalloids
they are metals
Metals generally are good conductors of electricity, and nonmetals are not.
The cause is the big difference between electronegativities.
nonmetals; nonmetals and metals
Metalloids do not contain either metals or nonmetals. They are elements that have properties of both metals and metalloids, and are found between the metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
Metaloids
the metalloids
nothing
Non metals have properties opposite those of the metals . The metalloids, or semimetals, have properties that are somewhat of a cross between metals and nonmetals.
metalloids are a cross between metals and nometals, meaning it has properties of BOTH metals and nonmetals.
Metals: alkaline metals Nonmetals: halogens
The difference in electronegativity determines the type of chemical bonding between atoms. Metals and nonmetals often have a large difference in electronegativity, and tend to form ionic bonds, while nonmetals bonded to nonmetals tend to have smaller electronegativities and tend to form covalent bonds.
metalloids are a cross between metals and nometals, meaning it has properties of BOTH metals and nonmetals.
