With the ecception of th ehalogens, group 17, the groups that have non-metals as the lightest groups 13, 14, 15, 16, the metallic character of the elements generally increaes as you go "down" the group, as the atomic number increases.
As you go down a group the ionization potentials drop, it becomes progressivly easier for the electrons to be removed. This is one of the prerequisites for a metallic bond where the s and p electrons are "free to roam". the more obvious concluion is that the formation of cations gets easier which is characteristic of metals.

What group is 32 on the periodic table?
The element found in group 32 on the periodic table is Germanium. It is a metalloid that can be found in some minerals and is used in electronic devices.
What has some of the properties of both metals and non metals'?
Metalloids have some properties of both metals and nonmetals. They can exhibit characteristics of metals, such as conductivity, and characteristics of nonmetals, such as brittleness. Metalloids are found in a staircase pattern on the periodic table between metals and nonmetals.
Are the elements that have some properties of metals and some properties of nonmetals are called halogens?
No, the elements that exhibit some properties of metals and some properties of nonmetals are called metalloids. Halogens, on the other hand, are a group of nonmetals found in Group 17 of the periodic table, which includes elements like fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Metalloids typically include elements such as silicon, germanium, and arsenic.
Where are the metalloids found on the periodic table?
Metalloids are located in a diagonal line on the periodic table that separates metals and nonmetals. They are found in Group 13 to 17, starting with boron in Group 13 and ending with astatine in Group 17. Some examples of metalloids include silicon, germanium, and arsenic.
Which group of elements share characteristics of metals and nonmetals-?
Metalloids, like silicon and arsenic, share characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. They have properties of both groups, such as being semiconductors (like nonmetals) while also having some metallic luster and conductivity.
What are semiametals?
As we look across the periodic table from left to right, we see metals on the left, transition metals through the middle and nonmetals on the right. What we left out was that group of elements between the transition metals and the nonmetals, and these semimetals are called metalloids.Metaloids have properties that are in between those of transition metals and nonmetals, or perhaps properties that are some combination of those of transition metals and nonmetals. The elements in this group include boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium.
An element that has some of the characteristics of metal is called?
A metalloid is an element that has some characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. Metalloids are found in a diagonal line between metals and nonmetals on the periodic table, such as silicon and arsenic.
Mettaloids have properties of both metals and?
Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They can conduct electricity like metals but are brittle like nonmetals. Some examples of metalloids are silicon and germanium.
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.
Why some elements are metals and other nonmetals?

What are the non metals in group 6a?
Halogens
Can all elements on the periodic table be classified as metals or nonmetals explain?
No, all elements on the periodic table cannot be classified as either metals or nonmetals. Some elements, known as metalloids, have properties that fall between those of metals and nonmetals. These elements are typically found along the zigzag line on the periodic table.
