What are the similarities and differences between metals and metalloids and non metals?
The electrons in a metal can leave the atom and move about in the metal as free electrons. While atoms in non-metals are bonded. Heat energy is passed along by vibartions as the bonds between the non-metals atoms are shaken. Conduction in metals is faster than in non-metals. Making metals good conductors and making non-metals poor conductors.
What are the metals and non metals in your body?
all are non metals
Is a nonmetal an atom?
The non-metals are elements and have their own unique atoms but many occur in their elemental forms as molecules..
Why is selenium a poor conductor?
Selenium is a non metal, and non metals are poor conductors due to the lack of free electrons or ions.
Where are the metals and non metals on the periodic table?
metals on left, non-metals on right, some others in middle.
What does ionic bonding occur between?
metals and non-metals
Do non metals contuct heat?
Non metals do not conduct heat. They have high resistance.They are insulators.Non metals do not have a pool of 'free electrons' (as metals do with metallic bonds). Hence they generally are poor conductors of heat. Nonmetals such as Styrofoam are widely used as insulators. Graphite is an exception as it is a good conductor of heat with its free electrons.Most of the non metals does not conductors because the do not have free electrons. But graphite is a good conductor. Most of the non metals are insulators.
State of most non metals at room temperature?
Non-metals are any of the non-metallic elements found in Groups 14, 15 and 16 of the periodic table. At room temperature, most non-metals exist as either gases or solids.
What state are most non metals in?
Mostly gases
What are non-metals that are in a liquid state?
The only non-metal that occurs in a liquid state at room temperatures is bromine (Br).
What forms between metals and non metals?
These are the properties of metals and non metals: Metals: Have a tendency to donate free electrons. Displace hydrogen gas from dilute acids React with oxygen to produce basic oxides React with hydrogen to produce Hydrides Metals are solids Non-metals: Have a tendency to receive electrons. Non metals maybe solids,liquids or gases Non metals are not malleable Non metals are not ductile
Are halogens metals or non non-metals?
Non metals
What state are most non-metals in room temperature?
Non-metals are any of the non-metallic elements found in Groups 14, 15 and 16 of the Periodic Table. At room temperature, most non-metals exist as either gases or solids.

What reation will occur with CaCl2 and NaCl?
No reaction happens. Only way to get a reaction going is if you have two molecules with different Metals and Non-metals. Metals in this one are different but non-metals are not so no reaction.
Most non-metals are in what state?
Nonmetals can be solid, liquid or gaseous.
How does reactivity work with the elements going down the groups for metals and non metals?
Reactivity increases down the group for metals. It decreases down the group for non-metals.
