nonmetals are on the right of the zigzag and metals are on the left, ( you should know because i know and im only 13)
There are many non metals that are found in nature. These non metals include all gasses like oxygen and hydrogen.
Non-metals and metalloids are found to the right on the periodic table.
The zigzag line on the periodic table separates metals from non-metals. Metals are found to the left of this line, while non-metals are generally located to the right of the line.
There are 17 nonmetals and only 6 metalloids.
Metals are found on the left hand side on the Periodic Table (towards the left of the "staircase". The "staircase" line divides elements into metals and non-metals. Elements to the right of the "staircase" are the non-metals. However, those close to the staircase have both metallic and non-metallic properties and hence are called metalliods.
oxygen and carbon
A metalloid is an element that has properties of both metals and non-metals. Metalloids are found in a diagonal line on the periodic table separating metals from non-metals. Examples of metalloids include silicon, arsenic, and germanium.
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.
Non metals
The staircase inside the periodic table separates metals from nonmetals. Metals are found to the left of the staircase, while nonmetals are found to the right. Metalliods, which have properties of both metals and nonmetals, are found along the staircase.
The three broad classes of elements found the periodic table are metals, non metals, and metalloids.
Chlorine is a non-metal. It is found in group 7 of the Periodic Table of elements and has electronic configuration [Ne] 3s2 3p5.
