On the periodic table which side is the non-metal on?
The non metals are right of the staircase.
Where are non-metal on the periodic table?
Nonmetals are located on the right side of the periodic table. Hydrogen is the only nonmetal that can be on the left side of the periodic table.
What touch the staircase in the periodic table and have properties of both metals and non-metals?
Metalloids
What does a group indicate?
The columns of the periodic table are called groups.
Who two major families of elements does the bold staircase line in periodic table separate?
I am sorry but while you may see a bold staircase in the periodic table, this is not a universally recognized concept. We do not know what you are talking about and therefore can not answer your question.
Where are most of the metalloids on the periodic table?
Metalloids are present on staircase pattern in periodic table. They are present on zigzag line.
Why is iron an metal?
Because it's on the left side of the staircase on the periodic table
On the periodic table which side is the non-metal on?
The non metals are right of the staircase.
Where are non-metal on the periodic table?
Nonmetals are located on the right side of the periodic table. Hydrogen is the only nonmetal that can be on the left side of the periodic table.
What touch the staircase in the periodic table and have properties of both metals and non-metals?
Metalloids
What is the staircase called along the periodic table?
The elements on the stair case are called metalloids.
What does a group indicate?
The columns of the periodic table are called groups.
What type of elements are on the right side of the staircase on the periodic table of elements?
They tend to be non-metals.
Are metalloids on the periodic table?
On the Periodic Table there is a zigzag line (staircase) running along group 13 to group 16. Metalloids are the elements along the staircase. The six elements commonly recognized as metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium.
