In the periodic table metals are located where?

They occupy all but the top right corner of the table.


What does the bold stait-step black line on the periodic table represent?

The bold, stair-step black line on the periodic table represents the division between metals and nonmetals. Elements to the left of the line are metals, while elements to the right are nonmetals. Elements along the line are metalloids, which have properties of both metals and nonmetals.


Who two major families of elements does the bold staircase line in periodic table separate?

I am sorry but while you may see a bold staircase in the periodic table, this is not a universally recognized concept. We do not know what you are talking about and therefore can not answer your question.


Is NaCl a metal?

Look up "periodic table of elements." the elements on the left of the bold line and right are separated based on this. It would be an Ionic Compound (metal/non-metal mixture) "SodiumChloride"


Where are the metals metalloids and nonmetals on the periodic table?

Metals make up most of the Periodic Table. They are located on the left side of the table as well as in the middle of the table. Metalloids occupy the spots that trace the bold zig-zag line present on many tables. Non-metals are located on the right side of the table.

Is nickel a metal nonmetal or metalliod?

It is a metal. All metalloids are located touching the bold line on the periodic table (except aluminum)


What are the vertical columns or families or groups in the periodic tabl?

They are called groups or families. Often the elements that are found in the same group as each other have similar chemistry and reactivity.Each column is named as follows, going from left to right across the Periodic Table (see the Web Links to the left for a periodic table).The names in bold are the most very commonly used names (some of the other names are not very often used).


What is the purpose of the zig zag lne on the periodic table?

The zig-zag line (or sometimes known as the staircase) separates the metals in the periodic table from the non-metals. Metals are present on the left of the zigzag line and non metals to its right. The elements on the staircase are known as metalloids.

How is periodic table divided?

1 is least massive leading to the manmade elements in the 100's which are most massive, and also by gasses, non-metals, metaloids and metals'


Where can you find metals nonmetals and noble gases on the periodic table?

Metals can be found on the left side of the periodic table, including elements such as iron, copper, and gold. Nonmetals are typically located on the right side of the periodic table, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. Noble gases are found in Group 18 (VIII) on the far right of the periodic table, including elements like helium, neon, and argon.


What compares alkali metals halogens and noble gases with respect to position in the periodic table the ability to react with other metals yes or non the number of electrons in the outer orbit?

Alkali metals are positioned to the far left in the periodic table. They react with hydrogen and oxygen(no they don't react with metals) and they have one electron in the outermost orbit.Halogens are positioned next to the noble gases in the periodic table. They react with nonmetals (no they don't react with metals) and they have seven electrons in the outermost orbit.Noble gases are positioned to the far to the right or last column in the periodic table. They never react with metals (no they don't react with metals) and they have 0 electron in the outermost orbit because they are very unreactive, which mean they are neutral (0/canceled).***Bold Words Important Keys for the Words***(Answers are found in page #110, 111, and 112 in the Grade 9 Nelson Science Textbook for Ontario, and also use the modern periodic table as your guide.)
