Human body is organic in nature. Organic compounds are formed mostly of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen. So you have these elements in your body in very high proportion.

What makes up most of your body - metals or nonmetals?

Nonmetals make up most of the human body. The main elements found in the body are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, which are all nonmetals. Metals, such as calcium, iron, and potassium, are present in smaller amounts.


Are thir more metals or nonmetals in the periodic table?

more metals


Are there more nonmetals than metals on the periodic table?

Yes, there are more nonmetals than metals on the periodic table. Nonmetals include elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, while metals include elements like iron, copper, and gold. The majority of elements on the periodic table are nonmetals.


Are metals nonmetals or metalloids more common on the periodic table?

Metals are more common on the periodic table than nonmetals and metalloids combined. The majority of elements on the periodic table are classified as metals.


Which are more common metals or nonmetals?

Metals are more common than nonmetals. The majority of elements on the periodic table are metals, and they are found in various forms in nature. Nonmetals are less abundant and typically found in combination with other elements in compounds.


Are metals more reactive then nonmetals?

I like trains:d


Are covalent bonds more likely to be found in compounds containing both metals and nonmetals or compounds containing only nonmetals?

Covalent bonds are more likely to be found in compounds containing only nonmetals. Metals typically form ionic bonds with nonmetals due to the large difference in electronegativity, while nonmetals tend to share electrons in covalent bonds to achieve stability.


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.


Are nonmetals more electronegative than metals?

Yes, nonmetals are generally more electronegative than metals. Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract and hold onto electrons in a chemical bond, and nonmetals tend to have higher electronegativities due to their higher effective nuclear charge and smaller atomic size compared to metals.


The valence electrons found in metals are different from nonmetals because .?

metals can conduct electricity, the valence electrons of nonmetals cannot roam freely


What is a type of element that has some of the properties of metals and some nonmetals?

Metalloids, such as silicon and arsenic, are elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They can conduct electricity like metals but are more brittle and less malleable.


Which side are the metals and nonmetals?

Non-metals are more or less located in the upper-right quarter segment of the periodic table. The left half and the lower half (about three quarters) of the p.t. are metals.
