The stair step that is seen in the group 3-7 of the representative element ( the right most side of the Periodic Table) divides the table of elements into two..
The right side of the stairs are the non metals (eg is the C, S, Cl etc..) They possess the characteristic of non metals ( poor conductor of heat and electricity etc...)
The left side are the metals ( well known of it are Gold, Silver, Platinum)
They are malleable, have high melting point, good conductors of heat and electricity etc...)
And those around the stair steps are the metalloids (eg. Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, and Polonium)
have a half characteristic of metals and non metals..

∙ 14y agoThe vertical rows in this table indicate that the elements in a particular row are all part of a family of elements sharing certain similarities. Try picking up a copy of "The Intelligent Mans Guide to Science" by Asimov. It covers a lot of topics like this (how lasers were invented, who dicovered vitamines etc. and it's a nice entertaining book to read.

Are elements that lie along the stair-step line of the periodic table liquids?
No. they are metalloids and are all solids
What are the 3 main classifications of matter on a periodic table?
metal, metalloid, and non-metal. Metals are everything left of the stair-step line, metalloids are MOST of the metals along the stair-step line, and non-metals are everything to the right of that line. The stair-step line is a line that goes (in a stair-like fashion) from between Al and B to between Po and At.
What period is aluminum in on the periodic table?
Al is a transitional metal since it is under the stair-step line that divides transitional metals from non-metals.
Where are the non metals located on the periodic table?
Non-metals are located on the far right of the Periodic Table, past the stair-step line containing metalloids.
What does the bold line on the periodic table to the right divide?
If the stair step line on periodic table divide, then the elements to the left of this line are metals, except hydrogen
What does the stair step line on the periodic table?
If the stair step line on Periodic Table divide, then the elements to the left of this line are metals, except hydrogen
Where are metalloids found on periodic table?
The stair step line
What elements in the periodic table are nonmetals?
those to the right of the stair-step line
What are the elements on the stair step line on the periodic table known as?
Metalloids or semiconductors
Are elements that lie along the stair-step line of the periodic table liquids?
No. they are metalloids and are all solids
Where do you find the metalloids on the periodic table?
The metalloids are found bordering the stair-step line, except for Aluminium and Astatine. The stair-step line divides the metals and non-metals and is near the right side of the table.
What are the 3 main classifications of matter on a periodic table?
metal, metalloid, and non-metal. Metals are everything left of the stair-step line, metalloids are MOST of the metals along the stair-step line, and non-metals are everything to the right of that line. The stair-step line is a line that goes (in a stair-like fashion) from between Al and B to between Po and At.
What two elements along the stair step line on the periodic table of elements are not metalloids?
You think probable to aluminium and polonium.
What group is on the Stair-Step of the periodic table?
Divides metals and non metals
What period is aluminum in on the periodic table?
Al is a transitional metal since it is under the stair-step line that divides transitional metals from non-metals.
What does the stair step line on the right side of the table help us locate?
The elements on the stair step line are metalloids, to its left are metals and to its right are non metals.
What does the stair-step line on the right side of the table help us locate?
The elements on the stair step line are metalloids, to its left are metals and to its right are non metals.
