Are there more nonmetals than metals on the periodic table?
Yes. There are only about 20 nonmetals and only 7 metalloids. The rest of the elements are metals.
Why non metals found in more compounds than metals?
Even though there are about five times more elements that are metals than nonmetals, there are more nonmetals than metals found in compounds. Nonmetals form many more compounds than metals because living organisms are composed almost entirely of nonmetals. There are more than 8.7 billion living organisms on Earth.
Is a metal and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
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)"
What are some of the properties that helped scientists organize elements into metals and nonmetals?
physical property (gas, liquid, solid) atomic number electronegativity atomic mass and MANY more!
What Unlike metals many nonmetals are?
Unlike metals, most nonmetals are gases at room temperature.
What are many non-metals?
Many nonmetals are gases.
Are metals and nonmetals and nonmetals are both good conductors?
Metals are good conductors. Some non-metals are good conductors, but many others are not.
Does nonmetals are highly reactive while metals are completely nonreactive?
It is not true; many metals are very reactive and several nonmetals are nonreactive.
Are there more nonmetals than metals on the periodic table?
Yes. There are only about 20 nonmetals and only 7 metalloids. The rest of the elements are metals.

Most of the materials that make up the earth are nonmetals?
false, most of the materials are metals. Non-metals are usually gases like hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. There are many more metals.
How many non metals are there in the third row in the periodic table?
In the third period there are 5 nonmetals, silicon and everything to its right.
What is sanderson line?
It separates the metals from nonmetals in the Periodic Table. -Anartori
