What else can I help you with?
Would you expect nonmetals to have larger electron affinities than metals?
Yes. Non metals have larger electron affinity than metals as non metals accept electrons more easily than metals.
Are there more non-metal elements than metallic ones?
there are more metals than non-metals on the periodic table
How does the electrical and heat conduction of metals and non metals compare?
Electrical and heat conduction is much greater in metals than in non metals.
Are the non metals not that important?
Nothing in the World is UNIMPORTANT.We need more non metals than metals....our life is the proof
Are there more metals than non metals?
Yes, 3 or 4 times as many elements are metallic. Note, the whole left AND bottom portions of the Periodic Table are metals.
Are metals more important than non metals to society and why?
This distinction is not adequate.
Are ther more metals than non metals in the periodic table?
yes
Advantages and disadvantages of non ferrous metals?
Non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum, copper, and titanium, have advantages including being lightweight, resistant to corrosion, and having high conductivity. They are also non-magnetic and have a lower risk of sparking, making them ideal for certain applications. However, non-ferrous metals can be more expensive than ferrous metals, have lower strength and hardness, and may require special techniques for welding and fabrication due to their lower melting points. Additionally, non-ferrous metals are not as readily available as ferrous metals, which can affect their widespread use in certain industries.
What properties do non metals have in common?
Elements that are classified as non-metals are characterized by a tendency to undergo chemical reactions in which they acquire electrons; this compares to metals which tend to lose electrons. In slightly more technical terms, this means that non-metals are oxidizing agents and metals are reducing agents; when you mix metals and non-metals together, they tend to react with each other, in what is sometimes called a redox reaction (reduction and oxidation). Other than that, non-metals are generally softer (or gaseous) and less shiny than metals are, they generally do not conduct electricity as well as metals do, they do not have the silvery color of metals.
What are physical properties of non metals?
Non metals do not conduct heat & electricity, good insulators, non mileable, high combustivity, low density and light in weight
What are three properties of metal that non metals typically do not have?
Metals typically exhibit high electrical and thermal conductivity, allowing them to efficiently conduct heat and electricity, while non-metals are generally poor conductors. Metals also possess malleability and ductility, enabling them to be shaped into sheets or drawn into wires without breaking, which non-metals typically lack. Additionally, metals tend to have a high density and melting point compared to non-metals.
Is a semi metal hard?
Their hardness will be less than that of metals but more than that of non metals. Hence the name, semi metals or metalloids.
