Is radon a metal or a nonmetal?
Radon is an inert or noble gas, and that's as far from being a metal as an element can get. You'll find radon at the bottom of the Group 18 elements (naturally) on the periodic table. Use the link below for more information.
How do you find the volume of an element?
You divide the mass by density
How can you find displacement of a metal in 50 mL of water when given the mass?
Place the piece of metal in 50mL of water and subtract the 50mL from the new volume of water. The difference will be the volume of the metal in mL and cm3. Then find the density by dividing the mass by the volume of the metal. The water must completely cover the metal in order for the displacement method of determining the volume to work.
What oxidation number would you find on a metal ion and a non - metal ion?
A metal and a nonmetal would form an ionic bond. In an ionic compound, a metal ion would have a positive oxidation number equal to its ionic charge. A nonmetal would have a negative oxidation number equal to its ionic charge.Examples:NaCl oxidation numbers: sodium has an oxidation number of +1, chloride has an oxidation number of -1. So the overall charge of NaCl is zero.CaCl2 oxidation numbers: calcium has an oxidation number of +2, the chloride ion has an oxidation of -1. Since there are two chloride ions, the total negative oxidation number is -2, so CaCl2 has an overall charge of zero.
Where can you find tantalum?
metal
Is chocolate cake a metal metalloid or nonmetal?
I really dont but i'll find out for you if you can tell me whats chocolate metal nonmetal or metalloid
Is ammonia metal nonmetal?
Ammnia is generally find as a gas. So ammonia is a non metal.
What are ionic?
Ionic compounds are compound consisting of a metal plus a nonmetal. The metal and the nonmetal both have charges that you can find on the Periodic Table, and they have to balance each other out. For example, you have MgO (Magnesium Oxide). The magnesium is the metal, the oxygen is the nonmetal, and they both have a charge of +2 and -2, so the subscripts cancel each other out.
Find out about alkali metals and their uses?
alkali is made out of a metal called zhphonie it is a very strong metal and is a substance to the earth
How do you find out if iron is a metal?
One method is to use a magnet. If the metal is iron, the magnet will be attracted.

What substance contains a alkali metal one I can find in a household and is not hard to retreive. Thankies?
toothpaste has alkaline in it
How do you find out if a substance is an alloy?
To find out whether a substance is an alloy you look at the elements it is made of. If it made up of only metals (ie gold,silver,aluminum,copper) then you know it is an alloy. If the components are a metal and non-metal, it is an ionic compound. If the components are two non-metals it is a molecular compound.
What conditions are required for an ionic bond to form between a metal and a nonmetal?
When ionic bonds form, the # of electrons lost by the metal atoms equals the # gained by the non metal. P.S. I'm an 8th grader and looked in a book. try it, you just might find answers quicker than looking them up usually but not always.

How will I find Mercury Heavy metal From A bottle of Syrup?
In order to separate mercury from another substance you must have a Mercury separator or a Mercury filter, these are available for purchase by many dealers you can find online.
