The elements to the right
metals elements conduct electricity better than nonmetals elements but not as well as metalloid elements
Moving from left to right on the periodic table, the elements generall go from metal to nonmetals.
Nonmetals that do not react naturally with other elements are inert. These nonmetals are called the noble gases and are in Group 18 (VIIIA) on the Periodic Table.
Metals and nonmetals
nonmetals
The elements highlighted in green are classified as nonmetals. Nonmetals are elements that typically have low melting points and are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Examples of nonmetals include oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon.
Elements can be classified into metals, nonmetals, and metalloids based on their properties. Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are typically dull, brittle, and poor conductors. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.

The metalloids
Yes, nonmetals are a category of elements on the periodic table. They are located on the right side of the periodic table and generally lack metallic properties like luster and conductivity. Nonmetals include elements like oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon.
Nonmetals may react with metal to form ionic compounds (salts) or other nonmetal elements to form organic compounds.
