How many non-metals are discovered so far?
Is it 80 or 88
Why do nonmetals not have their own name instead of being not like metals?
They do have their own names! The periodic table is actually split up into far more groups then just the metals and non-metals. The groups actually are as following: The Alkali metals The Alkaline earth metals The Lanthanides The Actinides The transition metals Other metals (all of the above are collectively grouped as the metals.) The Metaloids (these can neither be definitely grouped as metals or non-metals as they share properties of both.) Other non-metals The Halogens The Noble gases (these are collectively grouped as non-metals.) The reason for the fact that the collective groups being known as just the metals and non-metals is most likely due to the fact that there are far more metals, so it is more likely that these were discovered and then named first. There is no strong definition on what is a metal or non-metal, however, non-metals can generally be defined by having a negative valence whereas metals have a positive valence.
What are the metals and non metals in your body?
all are non metals
Where are the metals and non metals on the periodic table?
metals on left, non-metals on right, some others in middle.
What happens to the atoms of non metals when non metals react with metals?
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.

Are halogens metals or non non-metals?
Non metals

henry
Classes of elements?
Metals, non metals and metaloids (which have some of the properties of both metals and non metals).
Are metalloids metals non metals the same?
They are in between the metals and non metals
Are most of the element metals or non metals?
Non metals
Are noble gases non metals or metals?
non metals

Are tent poles made out of non metals or metals?
non metals
Which are better metals or non metals?
My opinion would be metal. Since non metals are brittle and dull, I disagree with the non-metals.
Where are the most reactive non metals?
The most reactive non metals are Halogens which may combine most of the metals as well as non metals.
