So that they can make ionic compounds.
Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
No. Nonmetals will also combine with metals and metalloids
they are metals
Moving from left to right on the periodic table, the elements generall go from metal to nonmetals.
no because metals conduct heat and electricity well, but nonmetals do not
Metalloids do not contain either metals or nonmetals. They are elements that have properties of both metals and metalloids, and are found between the metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
Metals: alkaline metals Nonmetals: halogens
because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals
Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
nonmetals
An element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals is a metalloid.
No. Nonmetals will also combine with metals and metalloids
