All you have to do is look on your Periodic Table of elements. Metals are to the left and non-metals are to the right. This way we know group four are metals.

What are the 4 main categories of elements found on the periodic table?

- The Group 1A elements are called alkali metals. - The Group 2A elements are called alkaline earth metals. - The nonmetals of Group 7A are called halogens. - The Group 8A elements are called the Noble Gases


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.

What family is a very reactive group of mostly nonmetals whose gain or share one electron in chemical reactions?

Group 17 elements, 'Halogens', have seven electrons in their valence shell and show the valency of 1. 4 of the 5 elements in that group are non metals including fluorine, which is the strongest.


What describes a property of all of the Group 4 A elements?

All Group 4A elements have 4 valence electrons in their outermost shell and are classified as metals with typical metallic properties, such as high electrical conductivity and malleability. They tend to form stable +4 oxidation states in compounds.


Where are the metalliods found on the periodic table?

Metalloids are found on the periodic table along the staircase line that separates metals from nonmetals. They include elements such as boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. Metalloids exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals.


Who many elements are found in group 4?

There are 4 elements in group-4.


Which non metal can make 4 covalent bonds to other elements?

All non-metals in group IV will be able to form 4 covalent bonds with other elements. They need 4 more electrons to form the octet structure in their valence shell. Hence, they can form 4 single covalent bonds to constitute the covalent structure. On the other hand, elements in group III, such as boron, can also make 1 double bond and 3 single bonds to share 5 electrons to achieve octet structure.


What is the group name for group 4 in the periodic table?

Group 4 is titanium family and is a part of transition metals.


There are more metallic elements than non-metallic elements?

Yes, 3 or 4 times as many elements are metallic. Note, the whole left AND bottom portions of the Periodic Table are metals.
