On the Periodic Table, the left side are the metals, and the right side is the non metals. The elements whose symbols are not shaded in means they are most probably gases.
separates them into distinct groups such as metals and nonmetals
Nonmetals are located on the right side of the periodic table, in groups 14-18. Metalloids are located along the staircase line that separates metals from nonmetals, meaning they have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Non-metals are located on the very right of the Periodic Table. Metals are on the left.
Metals are located on the left side of the periodic table, nonmetals are on the right side, and metalloids are along the zig-zag line that separates metals and nonmetals. This classification is based on the physical and chemical properties of the elements.
Upper Right corner except group 18 (nobles)
On the left all the way up to the line that separates the metals from the metalloids and nonmetals.
On the left all the way up to the line that separates the metals from the metalloids and nonmetals.
Moving from left to right on the periodic table, the elements generall go from metal to nonmetals.
DICK
It separates the metals, which are on the left side from the nonmetals which are too the right side of the black line
Metals If you look at a colored periodic table, most likely in the book you are getting this question from you can see that non-metals are only on the right side, besides Hydrogen depending on your instructor
Non-metals are on the right side of the periodic table. Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, sulfur, etc are nonmetals.
