What type of bonding happens to metalloids and metals and why?
• Metalloids: usually form covalent bonds with atoms of metals, nonmetals and other metalloids. They can easily take electrons from metals and lose electrons to nonmetals. • Metalloids: usually form covalent bonds with atoms of metals, nonmetals and other metalloids. They can easily take electrons from metals and lose electrons to nonmetals. They form because they want their valence shell to be full. Metals usually lose valence electrons because they want to stabilize their valence shell. Metalloids depends because they have different properties of metals and non metals.
What percent of the periodic table is composed of metals while the rest of the table is made up of nonmetals and metalloids?
More individual elements are metals than are either of the other categories given.
Is noble gases metals that are more reactive than the transition elements but less reactive than the alkali metals?
No, the noble gasses are nonmetals that are less reactive than all other elements.
What are some properties that make metals and non metals different?
The fundamental difference between metals and nonmetals is that metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions, and nonmetals tend to gain electrons in chemical reactions (not including the noble gases which are also a type of nonmetal and which are not reactive). In terms of physical properties, metals have a distinctive metallic appearance, shiny and silvery; they are good electrical conductors, they are flexible (although it is possible to formulate less flexible alloys) and usually solid, except for mercury which is liquid. Nonmetals come in other colors, are generally not good electrical conductors, and come in a variety of phases, solid, liquid, or gas.
What is the bonding process for nonmetals bonding with metals?
the bonding process for nonmetals bonding with metals is that they can take electrons and give them to each other.
Why some elements are metals and other nonmetals?

Can nonmetals replace other nonmetals in single replacement reactions?
yes,they do react with each other by forming a covalent bond OR say by sharing e- of valence orbit
When is energy given off by most nonmetals?
when they form compounds with metals or other non-metals
When is energy given off most nonmetals?
when they form compounds with metals or other non-metals
What type of bonding happens to metalloids and metals and why?
• Metalloids: usually form covalent bonds with atoms of metals, nonmetals and other metalloids. They can easily take electrons from metals and lose electrons to nonmetals. • Metalloids: usually form covalent bonds with atoms of metals, nonmetals and other metalloids. They can easily take electrons from metals and lose electrons to nonmetals. They form because they want their valence shell to be full. Metals usually lose valence electrons because they want to stabilize their valence shell. Metalloids depends because they have different properties of metals and non metals.
Why nonmetals important?
Nonmetals are important because they are often the main components of metals and other materials. Carbon is an extremely important nonmetal.
If Compared to metals and nonmetals how do atoms of semimetals behave when combining with elements of other elements?
They can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So, depending on the conditions , these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetalss. Durr !
What are minerals called from which metals and nonmetals can be removed in usable amounts?
For metals it is called ore. For non metals... not sure if there is a specific name other than mineral.
What types of atoms compose each type of compound only metals only nonmetals or both?
For "only metals" the answer is alloys or intermetallic compounds, formed of course from atom of metals - the bonds are of metallic type.All other chemical compounds contain atoms of chemical elements, metals or nonmetals.
Where on the periodic table would you find metals and nonmetals?
The metalloids split the table these are a diagonal group of elements, B, Si, Ge, As, Sb and Te. To their right are the non metals to the left the metals. There are many more metals than any other type of element. See Wikipedia article "Periodic table (metals and non metals)"
