What group of elements share characteristics of with both metals and nonmetals?

they share different metals together


Which metal and non metal in the same group?

The metal and non-metal in the same group are Hydrogen and Sodiim


Which shares electrons metals nonmetals or metalloids?

Metals typically share electrons by forming metallic bonds, with the electrons moving freely among the metal atoms. Nonmetals share electrons through covalent bonds, where atoms share electrons to achieve stability. Metalloids can share electrons with both metals and nonmetals, depending on the specific properties of the element.


Which group of elements share characteristics of metals and nonmetals-?

Metalloids, like silicon and arsenic, share characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. They have properties of both groups, such as being semiconductors (like nonmetals) while also having some metallic luster and conductivity.


Which is NOT a property of a nonmetal?

Non-metals are not ductile or malleable. Also, they are not lustrous apart from one exception. They gain electrons or share them in general to from compounds.


What does the background of the square indicate in the periodic table?

It depends on the key of the periodic table. Usually it signifies the type of element, e.g., alkali metals, nonmetal, noble gases, metalloid, rare eath metals, transition metals. However, it can mean other things.


What type of bond occurs between a nonmetal and a nonmetal or a nonmetal and a metalloid?

When nonmetals bond with metals the nonmetals will take electrons from the metal to fill their electron shell and empty the shell of the metal. The electrical attraction of the (+) charged metal and the (-) charged nonmetal form an ionic bond between the two.Nonmetals share electrons in a covalent bond.


What are families in the periodic table that share similar properties?

Some share the same amount of valence electrons. Some could be classified in the same group such as metals, Nonmetal, Metalloids.


Are boron and silicon metals?

They are both considered to be Metalloids meaning they have some metal characteristics and some non-metal characteristics.


Which group of elements share characteristics with both metals an nonmetals?

Metalloids, such as silicon, boron, and arsenic, share characteristics with both metals and nonmetals. They have properties of both groups, such as being semi-conductive like nonmetals but also having metallic luster like metals.


Ionic bonds form between what two types of elemtents?

Ionic bonds form between a metal and a non-metal and involve a share of electrons. Metals have positive charges and non-metals have negative charges (based on their valence electrons) so they are ions. i.e. Magnesium Chloride: Mg2+ + Cl- ----> MgCl2


What type of bond occurs between two non-metals?

A covalent bond occurs between two non-metals. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This sharing of electrons allows non-metals to fill their outer electron shells and form molecules.
